    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion. I thank the Chairman for giving me this one minute because part of my profession is land economics where we talk about repair and maintenance of buildings. So, this is something I have come across in my profession for the many years I have practised land economics in this country. In a nutshell, maintenance and repair of buildings is very crucial. We have periodic and regular maintenance. What is lacking in this country is perhaps planned periodic maintenance. A building has a 50 years’ lifespan. In fact, a building which is well done is regarded as part and parcel of land and has a 50 years’ lifespan. In this country, we have witnessed a situation of total neglect of our buildings. It is important we uphold this policy because it is very expensive when you repair a building that has been neglected for years. I support the Motion because it has a lot of relevance to professions like mine."
