    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to second this Motion brought to us by our Members of the Finance and Budget Committee, a report on the MTDMS. It is very important policy document, which unfortunately we mostly do not give it the due consideration. The biggest crisis that the country continues to face - and we have been in this space, fiscally speaking, for close to five years now - is a debt distress issue. Many of our policy decisions right now are being informed one way or the other by the debt situation we find ourselves in as a country. That is why, in its wisdom, Parliament made it mandatory for the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury and Economic Planning to send this document to Parliament by the 15th of every financial year so to provide a guide and a way through which Parliament can appraise itself of our debt obligations and plan specifically of how we intend to unclog us out of this mess that we find ourselves in. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
