    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Given the amount of time remaining and all that is coming out of my allocation, I rise to support this Motion. I thought very hard about it right from the time it came before our Committee and it is a good proposal. The Government needs the headroom to be able to plan optimally the combination of debt and equity and the combination of domestic versus external debt that they need to have to generate the fastest growth in our economy. It is clear that once the index ceiling has been raised and the Government is in this optimal mode of planning, they will be thinking about the project combinations to bring forth to generate the fastest growth. We are talking about the Standard Gauge Railway, but the energy sector and the education sector are areas that have a high propensity for growth and will truly balance this generation and the next generation. The railway construction and education are some of those areas. However, the energy sector is always a must. If we are to achieve Vision 2030, it is very important that the Government accelerates critical investments. It is my prayer that this House will, at some stage, seek restatement of the Vision 2030 portfolio of activities to satisfy itself that in this intention of trying to achieve a double digit growth, we are picking up projects that will be there. These are projects that have got good distribution effect across the country and not necessarily staying high growth, but geographically limited projects."
