    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the budget for the Ministry of Education, the Ministry did promise last December that they would be hiring more teachers, but this did not come to pass. I hope that some of this funding will be utilized to hire more teachers because most of our schools are actually understaffed and as a result, the results of those schools are wanting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to use of funds, when these funds are disbursed, we know that quite a bit of them go to waste through corruption and other means that are not legitimate or inefficiencies. I would urge that we realize value for money. We also hope that the Auditor-General will be able to put in place programmes that will ensure that all projects are sufficiently explained with regard to the expenditure related to them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to tell my colleagues who are worried about inflation that local domestic borrowing does not result in inflationary tendencies because we are mopping cash from the economy. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, I want to commend the Minister for Finance for a job well done, especially during the last few weeks where him and I have been working here up to midnight. I would encourage other hon. Members to stay with us, as we finish business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
