    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, reducing the size of Government does not necessarily mean reducing the numbers of Ministries. However, I agree that we need to cut down on some expenditures of the Government. That is why in my Statement, I said that we need to be frugal and prudent in our expenditures so that we only spend in areas where it is absolutely necessary and cut down on waste. That is what I mean; that we look at the budget and see where savings can be made so that we fund the very needy activities in our economy. If we do not do that, then we have to go to the local financial market and borrow with the attendant consequences of increasing inflation in the country and we do not want to do that. So, the Government has actually decided that we are going to be frugal and prudent in our expenditure."
