    "content": "From experience of what we have bene seeing in this country, if we create these kind of funds, they might be subject to other abuses which will not meet the intended purpose. Madam Deputy Speaker, I support the Committee’s decision to reject these regulations. Instead, we urge the National Treasury to concentrate on how to come up with a budget that we can sustainably fund. They should see how we can make sure that we only budget for what we can sustain with our own funding, and see how we are going to manage the debt which we have dug ourselves into. In future, once we get to a surplus budget, we can be thinking of these funds. Otherwise, it might be suspect coming up with these regulations at this time. We might be setting aside regulations which would have gone ahead to improve the economy of this country and provide employment so that the economy itself will generate the extra funds which will now necessitate these kinds of funds. At the right time, we can have this kind of legislation. I support the Committee’s position."
