"content": " Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important motion. This recess is well deserved. This House has performed, and it is the right time for us to go to our constituencies to ensure that what we actually decide in this House is implemented. I just want to make very important remarks on four issues. The first issue is about security; this country is under threat if organized crime is allowed to take root. I am so happy that this House passed a Bill on money laundering. It is important, as it is part of security. On criminal gangs, we want to commend the police for doing a good job. It is because of this that this department is supported. The issue of cattle rustling is eating into the resources of this country, and it is important that the Ministry involved should support the disarmament efforts, or rather should actually put into motion a disarmament process so that we provide security for the people. The second point which I want to mention is the issue of development. The Minister for Finance, in the Budget speech, mentioned economic stimulus. So far, we are running almost to the third quarter of the year. This package has not been released. It would have been very beneficial for Members of this House to go and manage in their own constituencies, this money and initiate the projects that it is meant for. The other one is the issue of CDF. If the money can be released, this is the right time for the MPs to go and supervise CDF projects."
