    "content": "The President should have highlighted his achievements and how they have impacted on the lives of the people by statistics as well. This will make us visualise and see that there is an impact in what he has done. For example, if he was talking about education, he should have told us the number of children who have laptops and the number of teachers who have been trained in computer skills so that we can see that there is an impact in the laptops programme. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology. The laptops are no longer in the domain of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology. They have been shifted to the Ministry of Information, Communication and Technology. That means that there is some kind of second thought about what the President should have achieved. He would have done a lot if he had listened earlier to us when we said that implementation of laptops programmes is not achievable within such a short time. The President did not listen to us and he never implemented the programme. The President has realised that a mistake was made three years down the line. That is why the laptop project has not only failed but has been shifted to another Ministry. They have realised that there was a failure. That is important to highlight. That was a challenge for his Government. He should have explained to us so that we can see how the state of laptops within the education sector has failed and how it has been moved to another Ministry to salvage the flagship project."
