I know there are many people who wanted this Bill to have a prescribed percentage. There were many representations to have an increment from a minimum of 2.5 to 5 per cent. In the last Parliament, Hon. Makali Mulu had a legislative proposal or Bill to increase that allocation from a minimum of 2.5 to 5 per cent. As the wording says, it is a minimum. As we pass and allocate resources during the budget-making process, nothing stops us from allocating percentages that are higher than 2.5 per cent, with the availability of resources being a factor.
