    "content": "So, there is need for ability, not just of Ministers, Assistant Ministers and Constitutional Office holders, but for everybody involved in governance to understand the process. We all know governments are voted in on the basis of a programme of action that they promise the country. Therefore, the expenditure of the Government must reflect those priorities that the citizens have voted for. So, for example, this Grand Coalition Government promised to enhance free education to ensure that every child gets 14 years of education across the country. So, in fact, our spending patterns should reflect those priorities. Therefore, I think this is an excellent Motion and this is work that needs to be done. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, many projects have been funded by the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We have improved the infrastructure. We have built dispensaries and police posts. But we have no requisite personnel who have been recruited to run those institutions. Why? Because there is a disconnect in planning! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that all of us should support this Motion. I beg to support. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
