In my comments on the exposition of public policy by His Excellency the President, I wish to say that it was more like a mini skirt, because it exposed little vital information and hid a lot of vital information. I wish to refer to His Excellencyâs remarks on the reforms in the Judiciary.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, one painful aspect of procurement in road contracts is when the process is clogged down and slowed to the extent that, at the end of the financial year, the projects are not completed. This is caused by procurement officers at the district level.
