    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of whether it is the Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Finance, I think it is the whole Government machinery and us in the Ministry of Education made the proposals but you know the Government gets its money from the Ministry of Finance before it is disbursed. So, I would not want to say categorically that it was the Ministry of Education that was to blame and at the same time, I would not want to say that it is the Ministry of Finance that was to blame. I think the whole process needed some correction. I hope this is the last time that we are talking about this issue. We really should be able to get money – all these tranches - to schools before schools open. That is, first term when school open, the 50 per cent should be in their account. In second term when schools are opening, 30 per cent should be in schools and in third term when schools are opening, 20 per cent should be in school accounts. I have been discussing with the Minister for Finance and he has already put in place that machinery. He has at least undertaken that that will be the case in future. So, the issue of future happenings of this kind, I hope will happen. Whether it will be one week before, I cannot guarantee but at least at the time the students report to schools, the money should be in the accounts of the schools."
