    "content": "focuses on other programmes that will enable the children to remain in schools. I have in mind the school feeding programme, subsidies and levies like examination and activity funds. The Government has the responsibility to comprehensively implement the fundamental aspects of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). It looks like we are losing momentum on these very important goals. When you look at the way we distribute our resources, we are not focusing on our fundamentals; the basic needs of people and communities. We would like to see this Bill focusing on the most vulnerable groups in society, especially when we are talking about the old members of the society. The President talked about cash transfers to aged people and I think that is a service that should be undertaken by devolved governance and it has not been addressed at all. This country is essentially a multi-cultural society which is endowed with a vast diversity of communities and, indeed, heritage. Indeed, if we would like to achieve the principles of national unity; if we want to achieve unity in diversity, then we should invest in innovation. We should invest in all opportunities that will enhance our productivity, especially on our human creativity and cultural diversity. Nothing has been shown in this Bill that indicates that we would like to seize the opportunity to invest in our cultural heritage. That is a function which will be played very well in the new arrangement."
