    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I wish to thank my colleague, Sen. Musila, for bringing this Motion and I stand here to support it. Before I do so, I would like to give the devil his due. First, I wish to congratulate the Government for having developed 12,000 kilometres of bitumen or tarmac roads over the years. Some of the roads have been done twice. So, the Government would have probably developed about 20,000 kilometres of roads. I support this Motion because it is a Motion where we are going to support and assist the Government to get away from the word “skewed” which is creating a lot of heat here. It is creating an impression of marginalization in the country. I want to use this word differently. We would like to skew the future development of infrastructure in this country in a favourable manner. For example, we would like to skew the development of future infrastructure in this country by taking into consideration the economic situation. Let the roads be constructed in areas which have economic activities in the country. Therefore the word “skew” should be used favourably. I support this Motion because this is one chance where Senators are giving themselves an opportunity to assist future development on roads not to be skewed negatively. We should be able to get this information ahead of time before the roads are done or where the roads are likely to be skewed in unfavourable manner, Senators would be able to put that right. That is the reason why I support this Motion."
