    "content": "I rise to support this Motion on the following grounds: One, the Jubilee Government is committed to move this country to a middle income status if not a first level status income. You cannot achieve that level of development unless you ensure there is peace, food security, proper infrastructure, adequate and skillful human capital and land. I know that we do have plenty of land in this country. We must acquire the other four factors and we can only acquire them by investing funds in those factors. For example, for us to have peace, we need to beef up our security agencies. For us to have food security, we need to do some irrigation projects so that our country is food secure. For us to have proper infrastructure like the one which was approved by this House; that there should be 20 kilometres of tarmac road in each constituency in the term of this Parliament, we need to invest. We can only invest in that if we acquire and mobilise resources and we can mobilise resources partly by taxation or by indebtedness. By increasing the ceiling of our indebtedness, we are not saying that we are going to get the money tomorrow. No, we are saying let us allow our Government and our legislature some leeway so that when there is need they can go out there and mobilise resources to achieve these goals that I have just stated."
