ailments and when you go to the others, you find it is not happening and they say it is not in the Act. This Bill has captured exactly who should benefit from treatment of each and every ailment.

It became very difficult to ...

Once they find that the services are provided as required and in the correct system, then it will be an encouragement for others to join the fund. This fund should be guarded religiously as I said. When it comes to the Committee of the whole House when we bring in amendments, I will also come with my amendments so that we polish it as much as possible and have it enacted. It will be a document which can serve this country for many years to come. I thank you, Hon. Speaker and support.

schools. The infrastructure in public schools is poor. The money that is supposed to be used to put up infrastructure in public schools as well as that meant to support free primary and secondary education is not released on time. The Ministry will say that they have disbursed the funds but they will take six months before they actually release the money. By the time they release the money, head teachers will have sent the children home several times to look for fees, which they cannot get from their parents because of the poor economy. It is high time that ...

Hon. Speaker, last week on Thursday, I rose to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. You directed that the response to the request for the Statement be done today. I was expecting the response now, but there is no response and the Chairperson, who was not in last week on Thursday, is not present. Hon. Speaker, I seek your guidance. What am I supposed to do because I was expecting the response? The people of my constituency are suffering. Business is not running as usual. I seek your guidance.
