"content": "As we interrogate this Division of Revenue Bill, we need to consider the equalisation component, the debt component and, above all, the poverty index. There is nothing in this Bill that shows the Government commitment to the reduction of poverty. This will be seen very clearly if we can heighten the allocation of funds for the old, the vulnerable groups, the youth and women. That can be seen very clearly in the feedback mechanism. We see there is a lot of corruption and theft. When such money is stolen, then the vulnerable people become even more vulnerable. I am concerned about the component that is poverty in our communities. We need to address poverty in every aspect of funds distribution. The issue of public participation will also lead us to getting this right."
