    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Even as I support this increase, I just want to state as follows: The total increase under Vote 1011 to Vote 2017, the presidency, is in billions. Even as we approve these increases, it is important for the presidency to set a good example in terms of use of public resources. What I am seeing is that the presidency is receiving a large increase, while very critical areas, as we will see as we go down, are not getting any increases. In my view, they need to balance because we know what the presidency does. Hon. Temporary Chairlady, but all said and done, I support and will be monitoring. It is unfortunate that when we started this Committee of Supply, majority of the Members just stepped out. I could see the leaders of the majority and minority parties struggling to get them to come back. This is the most important matter, and these are the same Members who will start saying that they are not getting resources for their areas. This is such serious business that it needs to be addressed with a full House. You cannot even see the chairpersons here! These are the issues. I know Members complain about the unequal distribution of resources, but they are never here when resources are being supplied. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady."
