"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, we want all these disbursements to be done very quickly. Waziri, you are a new broom. In fact, the way you became Minister is the way I would have liked. It is not the way people are picked from the bush and given Ministries, yet they do not even know how the Government works. They should start the way you did, as a Backbencher, then become an Assistant Minister, Minister for a small Ministry and then Minister for a big Ministry. It is better that way. Sometimes we get people from school and give them Ministries. Keep it up, but we want a measure of checking what this money is doing. I am in the Public Investments Committee (PIC), where we check things which happened 20 years ago. Surely, how does it help? I think the Project Management Committees (PMCs) have been set up, but I think we have not given them--- They came through a Budget Statement, like the one you were giving the other week, but we have not strengthened them enough and given them the mandate to show that they are very important. So, when some of them visit projects, they are very casual. They do not know why they go to those projects. I think there must be a way of getting feedback in your office regarding how this money is being spent, as we go along. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
