    "content": "I want to make a few comments in support of the Motion on the President’s Speech. In his Speech, the President talked about the Economic Stimulus Programme. Within that programme, we have centres of excellence. The way these centres of excellence are arranged to be implemented, we may not get value for money. The Ministry of Education has a number of times written to the Treasury, so that to do these centres of excellence, we borrow from the experience of the CDF committees across the country. The CDF Committees across the country have done very good work using so little money. There is value for money in what has been done by the CDF Committees across the country. Involving the Ministry of Public Works so much may lead us into losing money. So, I wish to encourage my colleagues, to watch out on how this money is used. Otherwise, we may not get value for money if we involve Public Works Officers too much. The money will just be swallowed and we may have no schools done. Please, watch out. Otherwise, we may not have a good work done in regards to centres of excellence. In my constituency, I am already checking on what is to be done. Please, let us involve the District Education Boards (DEBs) and Boards of Governors (BoGs) for schools. Let us not bring in Public Works Officers. Those guys will make us lose money."
