    "content": "We have had our own challenges, arising out of the fact that we have not been allowed to employ and replace staff who leave the Ministry. However, we are in the process of addressing some of these challenges like staff shortages and inefficiency among some members of staff. We are trying to cope with the high volumes of work which we are facing at the Ministry of Public Works, in the face of these acute shortages of staff, including work that we traditionally never handled like some of the projects for the CDF. I would like to put it on record that considerable improvements are being achieved. Today, we can stand proud that we have delivered a number of projects to the satisfaction of the general public. This condemnation, therefore, is not fair. It is a little harsh on the Ministry of Public Works. I want to put it on record that we will be making a formal response through a Treasury Memorandum in respect of this report. I hope that this House will appreciate my concerns about these very harsh remarks relating to my Ministry. With those few remarks, I plead for understanding."
