Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The concept of ring-fencing funds for a specific sector is very important. It is important that funds which have been set aside for this sector are ring-fenced for purposes of that sector. I support the amendment.

. We all agreed that we need this one week which should not be interrupted. At the same time, it is important that we get the Presidential Address to the Nation on 31st March, 2016.
