"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the BPS; reason being that, we have a major problem with youth unemployment. So, there is need to look at it critically. I fully support the aspect of creating something for the interns to keep them busy. Hon. Speaker, another area we need to look into is our schools. For example, Tongaren Constituency where I come from has 52 schools with a population of 28,000 students, and a shortfall of around 50 per cent of teachers. This is a critical area, if we are to improve education in our constituencies. So, we need to enhance funding for employment of teachers in our schools. Tongaren also faces a lot of electricity infrastructural problems. Therefore, I applaud the Committee for allocating funds for electricity connectivity in our constituencies. I also support the fact that we need to look into agriculture especially, extension services, because they will boost agricultural production in our areas. Hon. Speaker. I beg to support. Thank you so much."
