    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report and thank our Speaker for allowing it back. I also thank hon. Otichilo. He has tirelessly worked on this. It is high time, as a country, we take care of our resources. This nation is rich in resources. It has facilities, like the one which we are discussing here - San Marco. It has been there for almost 50 years. Although we have a good relationship with Italians, it is tilted to their favor. So, sometimes, somebody can give a token and the token should not blind us from getting what is of benefit to this Republic. It is high time we work on the recommendations so that our Government can take steps as proposed in the Report. The Government should take a role and involve the critical Ministries like the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology in the manning of that Centre. They should also ensure that the other departments like Defence are involved so that, at the end of the day, we can go in that direction. We know many countries and people are, at the moment, relying on information. We are in the information age and we are relying on space science. The importance of that particular Centre has been highlighted and we need to get its full benefits so that, as a nation, rather than relying on begging from other people who give us conditions, we can use what is rightfully ours. The benefits from the Centre should be utilized in furthering development. As it has been highlighted, it is a shame that a Centre like that has so many benefits and many resources but the people around it do not benefit. They live in abject poverty.
