    "content": "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to also support the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) as it has been brought to the House by the Budget and Appropriations Committee. My sentiments are few and I feel that they will add value to what is happening in our country today. As much as the Committee has appropriated money to all the Ministries that are concerned, I hope that, as a House, we are also going to do our part to oversee and make sure that the money that is being wasted; that people do not even account for, is accounted for. If we do not do that, then we will be doing something very wrong. So, it is us, as a House, to up our game to ensure that the accountants are accountable for what has been placed into their hands to improve the infrastructure, schools and everything else they are entitled to. Another thing I feel should be done is that when the Committees make recommendation to the Ministries on accountants who have failed to account and show value for the money, they are not supposed to be given money again. That is because they have failed to account for the money previously given to them to improve the living standards of our people. That is why they are in the situations that are facing them."
