    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also commend the Budget and Appropriations Committee for a good job. In particular, I appreciate the amount of fairness and the manner in which they have tried to address the issue of equity in the distribution of resources. When I look at the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA) and sports, I see sports academies spread across the country with, of course, one in Teso South. That is a very good job. My only plea is to the ministries. Most of these monies have gone to the ministries as a block figure for them to distribute to the various programmes and priorities within their sectors. Please make sure that you distribute this money taking into consideration all parts of the country so that each part of this country can feel the development that the Government is doing. Additionally, the committees, especially the departmental committees, should each take their roles seriously to make sure they carry out oversight. It is true that we are not making very good use of the audit reports. We need to take up the audit reports, do our oversight, assess the status of completion of projects and, if possible, visit those projects. I thank the Committee. In the road sector, we are looking forward and we will be following keenly to see how the roads have been distributed across the country. I am also very happy that for the first time, again, in Teso South, the Butula-Nambale-Amukura-Amagoro Road will be done. Thank you."
