"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is a brilliant person! He knows that I am talking about the Budget and not Questions. For his information, Questions are not part of parliamentary business. We need to look into the issue of the procurement of ETRs. They were over-priced. By the way, for your information, the taxpayer buys the machine and the Government reimburses. That item is an asset of the Government. Can the Government oversee the maintenance of those programmes? They might collapse and park and somebody will say: \"I am waiting for the Government to come and repair the ETR. I will be operating without it.\" This could be another Anglo Leasing business! We are throwing money out there to enrich particular individuals. In conclusion, I commend the Minister for stating that Ministers, Assistant Ministers and Permanent Secretaries will have one car. I met a Minister in a rural area going to see his grandmother on a Sunday, driving a GK vehicle with a flag on. Is visiting your grandmother part of Government business? It reminds me of those days when we were going to school for the first time. We forgot and even put on uniforms during weekends! We must control those expenses so that we can live within our means. With those few remarks, I support."
