"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to support Vote 15 of the Ministry of Labour. This is a very important Ministry as far as I am concerned and as far as this country is concerned but it is being under-funded. Let it go on record that this Ministry is marginalized. I wish that even the one who allocated these funds would have manned a similar figure in his Ministry. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me say that the under-funding in this Ministry will actually lead to lack of inspection in our work places, including in the Ministry of Finance because it is the Ministry which also inspects the offices of the Ministry of Finance and also develops human resources in those Ministries. So, I strongly feel that the Ministry of Finance would have actually increased the allocation to this Ministry. Under-funding leads to job insecurity in this country. A number of the citizens of this country are being sacked left and right because they are dissatisfied with poor pay. When they come out to demand for their rights they are sacked. I wish to say that this Ministry should have been allocated more funding in order to improve inspection in workplaces, factories and be able to solve industrial disputes in this country."
