The second one is about the salaries of our staff. It is true it has been so long that you wonder what you can do with your staff who have starved for the last four months. Some of them have taken loans and cannot service them. They look up to us to support them. It is not possible to support your staff every other month. There is need to work out a way in which they can be The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
