    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me also add my voice to this important debate. I join my colleagues in appreciating the hard work which the departmental committees have gone through to make sure that we have this Budget. This year, we were able to have serious debate on the budgets of the various Ministries and Departments. I want to focus on areas where my colleagues have not mentioned. Hon. Mbadi has talked about pending bills. I want to briefly talk about stalled projects and programmes. In this country, we have a lot of projects which have stalled. Some have stalled for over 10 years, others 15 years and others five years. As the Budget and Appropriations Committee, it is important that we provide resources so that those projects can be completed. Unless they are completed, we will not realise value for money. I really want to appreciate the Budget and Appropriations Committee for making provisions to complete projects like Umaa dam, Badassa dam and other projects which have stalled for many years."
