    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as is quite obvious from the estimates that have been tabled before this House, about 95 per cent of our revenue is being used for recurrent expenditure. Only five per cent is being used to support our development expenditure. Under Vision 2030, we have very ambitious development targets. Within my own sector, you know there is chronic shortage of power in this country. We are not generating enough electricity. We cannot hope to industrialize this country in darkness. We cannot hope to industrialize this country while generating just 1,300 megawatts. Even small towns in Europe are generating 5,000 megawatts or 10,000 megawatts. We have been complaining about high electricity costs, which are making us uncompetitive, increasing the cost of production, and also hurting our consumers."
