    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for that protection. I was talking about making pro-poor budgets. This country needs to, seriously, address the question of the poor. We collect a lot of revenue in this country, but we hardly see where that money goes to. We are told that 97 per cent of the Budget, or thereabout, is supposed to be going to the line Ministries. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thinking of my own constituency, yes, money is going there, but it is very difficult to have tangible evidence of what that money is actually doing on the ground. I am still having women being transported on wheelbarrows. Women in my constituency are still being carried on wheelbarrows to dispensaries because there are no good roads. When they get to the dispensaries, they find that there is no medicine. If they get the medicine, they will not get the medical personnel to attend to them."
