    "content": "Other than that, I am happy that many sectors have been properly taken care of. For instance, in the agricultural sector, coolers which are very useful will be put up in several areas. The other issue is the consideration of JSS teachers. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there has been a problem in the constituencies, but with this provision that has been put in the Budget, many of them will be accommodated in the system. Construction of hostels in TVETs has also been considered. That is very important because most TVETs do not have hostels. Therefore, you find the students moving around looking for accommodation. I am sure that if this is done well, our students will have proper accommodation and will concentrate on their studies. I also want to mention the increase in the energy sector for the purchase of transformers. Some of the areas in this country, particularly the area I come from, do not have adequate power. Those transformers will help lighten those dark areas that we still see in our areas. This is a very important Budget, even though it came at a bad time because of the rejection of the Finance Bill. We still need to take care so that the reduction in some of these areas does not contribute to pending bills. That is because if we increase pending bills, we will be increasing our borrowing. That will affect our deficit. These reductions should be looked into again so that we have adequate funding for some of the ongoing projects so that we do not create pending bills that will increase our deficit. With those few remarks, I wish to support this Supplementary Budget. Thank you."
