    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for allowing me to continue debating on this very, very important Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Report. Yesterday when I was concluding before I was caught up with time, I was talking about the foreign debts that we have in this country which have increased to trillions. We are seeing this as a big problem. We are impressed with the reforms that are taking place in the country in various sectors, even in the finance sector. When it comes to foreign debts that we have, it is very important that things are brought to this House before any money is borrowed so that we know whether it is a priority or not; why are we borrowing this money and also the type of work that this money will come and do in this country. We have heard that in the past, money has just been borrowed and we only see our debts going up all the time. Governments are coming in only to find the country heavily indebted by the former Government. It is very important that we discuss that issue very, very seriously so that we do not drive on roads that were actually build on debts alone. So, anything that we are doing, we are actually indebted even when we are walking. It is very dangerous! Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I talked about the work done by the PAC. These people work very hard; they did a lot of work so that those Members who will be in the Committee later on, even in the next Parliament will have an easy job to do."
