    "content": "Social security programmes etc to be considered as development projects. 45A. The funding of social security programmes, education bursary schemes, mock examinations and continuous assessment tests shall be considered as development projects for the purposes of the Act provided that such projects shall not be allocated more than thirty five per centum of the total funds allocated for the constituency in any financial year. In this amendment, we are deleting the marginal note and substituting it with a new marginal note which states that projects involving personal awards will be excluded. Further to that, we are deleting sub-clause (2) and inserting a new clause immediately after Clause 45 which seeks to increase the allocation to bursary schemes from 25 per cent to 35 per cent. Members, we are increasing the amount of money available for you to allocate to bursaries and introducing a new category called social security. In this category, we will be able to pay the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) for those people who are extremely vulnerable in our community. That is the import of this amendment and I request my colleagues to support it."
