"content": "These are the institutions that support the education system. There are two main issues in my view. We have not overseen them properly and I can also understand the parent ministry. These are important Semi-Autonomous Government Agencies (SAGAs). They are too many — more than 25. I appreciate that the Ministry of Education was maybe overburdened but now splitting the Committee has brought this matter to the fore and we can therefore look at it. Poor funding was a sign of ignorance. Poor human resource is a serious management issue and very many of them are in one ministry. For now, I think the Report is a bit lenient. It has brought issues, to a large extent, that will not be accounting officers, but the overall oversight capacity even us as Parliament and the ministry. I know Hon. Melly in the Departmental Committee on Education and Research is a very capable person and I think he supports these SAGAs so that they can deliver what we need for this country. With that, I support this Report."
