    "content": "Thank you very much Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare for the time it has spent on a number of Sessional Papers. Those Sessional Papers – and that is what we were just discussing with the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs - are very important. That is the exposition of Government policy in those areas. It is from these Sessional Papers that actual legislation, ideally, should be drawn from. Laws should always follow the policy. This is a very important Policy No. 3 of 2013 because it looks at a key area in our countries economy, which is productivity. Productivity is just a relationship between inputs and outputs in production of goods and services and how to most effectively and efficiently align those inputs to have the best output in a country. We have had a lot of different policies in this country around productivity dating from the 1960s. I was not there but I know the first National Development Plan was the one of 1964 to 1970 and the next one was that one of 1997-2001. The most recent is our blue-print now - the Vision 2030. That is the economic blue-print that even takes into account matters of productivity. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
