If we accumulate it, it can buy houses during the time those people are employed. It is a very good idea. I wish to support the President. If it is possible to divert rent or house allowances which most of the employees are being paid to buy those houses, by the time they retire, they would have bought houses. He also talked about food sufficiency. Currently, there are some areas which are ravaged by famine or drought.
