"content": "It is really shameful! It is truly shameful! But I can appeal, and I will appeal that, at least, with the monies we give to the constituencies through the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), perhaps, let us start looking at how we can start cottage industries the way other countries have done. That will be a beginning. I want to urge the Minister not to feel too sad about that. Do what you can with what you have. Let them do what they can with what they have. Let them organise a workshop for Members of Parliament and tell them to set aside, maybe, two or three per cent of their allocation for the small industries which make a difference at home. I am talking about the welders who make windows and the small things that we need at home. Every constituency needs these products. We should start there because Rome was not built in a day. Let the Minister not despair. He should tell His Excellency the President and the Government that he is terribly disappointed with what they have allocated him. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support the Motion."
