Lastly, the Bill outlines financial matters especially how funds can be sourced for the road sub-sector. In this financial year, the road sub-sector has taken the largest chunk of our Budget.

well managed. Even the 10 per cent needs to be looked into, so that these roads can be murramed and we can have good drainage.

I thank the Hon. Member for coming up with this Bill because in the education sector, a teacher is measured by the output or what the learner has ...
