    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to say that I acknowledge the Jubilee Government as being a baby which has been in existence for less than one year. We only say it is one year old because it was voted in, in March but bearing in mind that there were issues of the Constitution which required the Cabinet Secretaries to go through vetting, then it has barely been in office for about eight months. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, having said that, I want to say it is human character to always identify the negative side but if we consider the President’s Speech, it had more than ten very good items. There were issues of food security, ICT and supply of electricity in all our primary schools, which was exciting. We know that when our primary schools have electricity, all their neighbourhoods will have power. This will help in the growth of our rural areas to almost that of the urban areas. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to mention the issue of security. Considering the situation, I want to urge this House that it is also our duty to help the President on security. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and there are always issues of underfunding. We can ask investors and donors to assist us but the issue of security is fundamental. Even if we had food and all basic items, we would not survive without security. So, it is time this House, during the Budget making process, considers equipping the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government with relevant budget so that we can rate the performance of the security agents."
