    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 cannot be seen in isolation. This is why it is important for all the Ministries to work in concert. In fact, the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 is really gell for all Ministries. Therefore, anything that happens in any of the other Ministries must be very closely related and monitored by this Ministry. In fact in many ways, this really should be the mother Ministry because all efforts of development must emanate from this Ministry. Whatever happens in other Ministries must be supported by what is taking place in this Ministry. We need to appreciate that importance and get other Ministers and bureaucrats in Ministries to realize that they cannot support development without being part and parcel of what is taking place in this particular Ministry. In this regard, therefore, we should forget vested interests. We cannot think of a national vision, if people are thinking in terms of ODM, PNU and in terms of which is my constituency and so on. Long term development for a country should have nothing to do with politics or political parties, so that after a new Government comes in, we remove Permanent Secretaries from this Ministry or other Ministries, or a permanent committee. Sometimes you say: “You know these were not priorities of ODM or PNU. That cannot work because any country’s planning that is not long term is, therefore, not going to achieve anything. So, really we must leave politics, ethnicities and other issues that have nothing to do with long term development of this country, out of what takes place in this Ministry."
