    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. This is an important Bill, coming at a time when our country is going through serious economic difficulties. If there are Senators who believe that our country is not going through economic difficulties, I think they are living in utopia. I am a seasoned civil servant. Since Independence, we have never had such a situation before, where civil servants are not paid on time and the Government admits openly that they are broke. Even during colonial times, that was never the case. During colonial times, they used to say; if the Government has not paid you, it is not because it is broke, it is only because it is still making arrangements. It is a very strange situation where we admit that we are broke. Civil servants normally receive their salaries by 25th or 26th of every month."
