    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, I would like the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee, Hon. Atandi, to take note of an omission in this budget. There is always a Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) signed between employees and the employer. For teachers and all the other employees, the CBA lasts for four years. This year, the CBA for teachers has ended, and in law, another one has to be signed. It was expected that this budget would deal with this, but I know your good office will look into it in the coming supplementary budgets. The CBAs are already exhausted. We realised that CBAs are the reason why teachers no longer go on strike every December like they did in the past. Previously, there would be a strike every December before examinations. It is very important for the Budget and Appropriations Committee to look at how we will get a new CBA for the teachers. They should look at how we shall get a new CBA appropriated for the teachers so that we have a safe haven of learning throughout the exam time in December and even beyond that particular time. That will be very important for that particular sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
