    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that, indeed, the contractors have superior manpower in terms of crafting leases and, therefore, the schools may be disadvantaged. But I think it would also be important, as leaders, to agree that any decision to lease part of the school or the school fields must go through the district education boards. That is because that is a public asset. It is a school asset and through the district education office, they would get better offers. However, I also wish to say that in our agreements or contracts, our contract is strictly between the contractor, the Ministry and the road in question. Where the contractor gets the materials, including the site office and all that, is a private engagement and, therefore, my Ministry will not want to get into the business of knowing where the site office will be, how much will be paid and all that. However, I think it is important to ensure that the contractors who get sites are able to restore those sites to the same state they were before, after the completion of the contract. This is a matter, as the hon. Member has requested, that can be incorporated in future contracts."
