    "content": "This money is also going to purchase seeds for the farmers. In all honesty, how can somebody oppose the purchase of seeds for farmers? Those are the people we depend on; they need to get those seeds so that they can be able to plant and harvest at the end of the day. Some of the money is going to pay salaries to teachers and policemen who are working so hard to give us protection. I think it would be a slap on the face if we were to refuse to support the payment of the increased salaries to the policemen. We must also commend the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance for the wonderful job that he is doing in the Ministry. We will recall that in 2008, our growth went down from 7.1 per cent to 1.7 per cent. We are back on track now, at 7.1 per cent. All this has happened through the efforts of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance. Last year, he came up with a very unique concept of economic stimuli and, except for some teething problems here and there in some Ministries, most of them have taken off and they are almost on the verge of completion. So, we must commend him for that very noble gesture that he extended to jumpstart the economy and it has worked. Therefore, we must be grateful to him and commend him. That shows what he can do if he is given more responsibilities by the State. He can do more. Therefore, we need to commend him and encourage him to proceed."
