    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to take this opportunity to make a quick contribution to the Budget Speech. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I start by congratulating the Minister for Finance for fairly good ideas that have been explored in this year's Budget. As I have always said, good ideas can always be made better. However, there is something tremendously important that the Minister totally missed out in this Budget. It is a big disappointment for me personally. This is because in his Speech, having recounted what happened and transpired in this country at the beginning of the year--- I quote from paragraph seven: \"We now fully recognise that achieving lasting peace and stability will only be possible through genuine national reconciliation, social cohesion and solidarity among our people and, above all, elimination of deep poverty\". Mr. Speaker, Sir, the thing that divided this nation most at the beginning of this year and during the general election was our communities and tribal affiliations. These are very beautiful words in the first seven paragraphs by the Minister. But in actual fact, he ended up allocating no money at all towards a deliberate programme of national cohesion. 1260 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 18, 2008"
