    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a very straightforward Motion, very clear and simple. What the Minister is asking is consistent with the provisions of the law and it is, in fact, expected to come before this House. The Treasury, as the custodian of public debt, must come to this House and be given a legal backing to cap the ceiling on what our national debt should be. Hereafter, the Constitution and the law requires that then every individual debt that requires the Government guarantee must come to this House on its own merit, be debated as a Sessional Paper and be approved or rejected. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we know that this country is on a fast lane for development. We have given ourselves Vision 2030. We have to increase our energy production from the paltry 14,000 megawatts to about 70,000 megawatts in the next couple of years if we have to catch up with those ahead of us."
