"content": "I am sorry, hon. Member. I withdraw. I rise to support this amendment and on the same breadth I would kindly request the Treasury that since His Excellency the President, Deputy President, this House and Senate, we all agreed to try as much as possible to devolve as much funds down there, I would kindly plead with this House that once the estimates for the main budget come, we work on the CDF Act so as to raise the 2.5 per cent to at least 5 per cent. That 2.5 per cent will go directly to our children so that we can make sure they get bursary. This way, they will be contained within the Jubilee manifesto of 18 years in school. We must start budgeting for that from now. That will devolve enough funds at the grassroots level and it will be handled by the Members of Parliament. Since the governor has something to do, our folks will not understand. They can only see what hon. Members will do for them within the five years. Thank you."
