On the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), although there is a new Minister, I feel that the required number of teachers in our primary and secondary schools must be met. There has been a shortage of 80,000 teachers in our schools and the Minister should meet this requirement. Meeting the full requirement will translate to improvement in the quality of education in our schools. The Ministry of Health and Sanitation, in my view, is seriously under-funded. Our doctors need to be paid well and the number of nurses should be increased in our health centres. We also need to check on the brain drain of our doctors to the neighbouring countries. Our doctors must be enumerated properly. On the issue of land, the Ministry of Lands has also been under-funded. This is a critical period when we want the Ministry to be computerized because recently, we have seen the production of fake title deeds and survey maps. Therefore, this Ministry requires sufficient funds to rectify some of the anomalies that are in that Ministry. It is the same Ministry that has been mandated to make sure that the remaining IDPs are settled. Therefore, this Ministry should have been allocated more money so that by the end of this year, all the suffering and agonizing IDPs are fully settled. It is very painful in our eyes that these people are still in camps, which are worn out. On the issue of fertilizers, we need to be assured by the Minister that the allocated funds will be invested well and fertilizers will be bought and no cartels will be allowed to distribute this fertilizer. Innocent farmers have been suffering and, therefore, it is important that critical steps are taken."
