    "content": "I want to mention one final thing before I give my colleagues an opportunity. The Government is spending a lot of resources in enabling learning within our learning institutions. We are talking about providing fresh water for them to use. The Government is putting electricity in our institutions so that Information Communication Technology (ICT) can be taught in our schools. More than 60, 70 or 80 per cent of NGCDF funds are currently going into education because our schools are being uplifted. Unfortunately, all this money is going down the drain because of a few disgruntled elements within our schooling system. It is a problem that we are a nation where people vandalise water pipes and taps and destroy water tanks without any explanation. As we support this Motion, we also have to be very careful. How are we going to secure what we are providing to our schools? In the near future, I will be sponsoring a Motion asking the Government to also provide CCTV cameras in all our schools so that we can see what is going on. We do not want to provide water only for the infrastructure to be destroyed tomorrow, or provide electricity only for it to be used to burn school dormitories. We want to be careful about what amenities we give to schools and how those amenities are used. I, finally, want to say that I support this Motion. It is important for us to have water in our schools because they are burning and water can help to put off the fires. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
