    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this very important Motion. It is important that we go back to our constituencies to work. We use one-third of our time debating in this House and the rest in helping our people. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to touch on the issue of equity. You even heard a Minister of the Government lamenting that resources in this country are not fairly distributed. We would like to request the Government that, while we are in recess, it should adjust the very unfair way the roads money was distributed. We demand that, that adjustment be done. The second thing that this Government needs to look into is the issue of poverty levels. Due 2616 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 3, 2006 to the drought in arid and semi-arid areas, the level of poverty in those areas is very high. We urge the Ministry of Education to be concerned with bursaries for university and secondary students. That is very critical. The other point which is very critical is national security. We have seen this Government using Government resources to campaign for electoral candidates. But we have not seen the Government using its military resources to rescue our people and their animals across the border. It is a shame that our Government is misusing resources to do campaigns. But when it is needed to act, it does not respond."
