"content": "taxpayers if he will not make profit out of it. This is because it is not his money! He will give you money so that he can do business. The only money that you can be given to spend in a country are the loans. Otherwise, the grants that we are given go to consultancies which come from the countries granting the money. I think the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance did the right thing by proposing to utilize our trust funds. We will move forward if he organises what I have requested for. The other good thing the Minister did was to cut down on wastages. We have a lot of Government assets that are wasted. They include furniture and vehicles. Ministers enjoy vehicles that are irrelevant. You are given a grant as a Member of Parliament when you come to this House. You need to add very little money to that to buy yourself any type of car. Why go to the Government offices and demand to be allocated other fuel guzzlers? I think the Ministers who are trying to resist that are actually against their people who elected them. The Ministers should comply with this proposal. In fact, Mr. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, I will visit that auction as a businessman to buy some of those vehicles so that they can do some work. I do not want you to relent on that issue."
