    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee regarding delay in disbursement of National Government Affirmative Action Fund. Hon. Speaker, the National Government Affirmative Action Fund is part of the National Government’s design in addressing the plight of vulnerable groups in our society. This is to enhance access to financial resources for socio-economic empowerment among women, youth, people living with disability, needy children and the elderly. Hon. Speaker, further, it is through the National Government Affirmative Action Fund that many of our young men and women have found a reliable avenue for promoting their enterprises and value addition initiatives. Following the critical role of the affirmative action initiatives in our societies, it is important to ensure timeliness and efficiency in the disbursement of such funds. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Budget and Appropriations Committee on when the National Government Affirmative Action funds meant for the first and second quarters of the 2019/20 Financial Year are expected to be disbursed? Thank you, Honorable Speaker."
