When they talk about allocating money to build more slaughter houses, I wonder to slaughter what. Do they slaughter donkeys, dogs, cats or rats?

The livestock sector has been neglected so much. As I finish, I want to applaud my friend, hon. John ...

In their Report, the Committee has captured the issue of low absorption capacity, widespread wastage and corruption. This Report has highlighted a lot of things, which if implemented today; we will not be talking about this widely discussed topic, the high wage bill. The allocation of funds for the revamping and building of polytechnics in some parts of this country is a welcome idea.

In the Report also, on education, they have talked about aligning the institute’s curriculum reforms in education. They want to align inputs with the requirements of the market. It is amazing to see some of the degrees we are running in universities nowadays, and the kind of graduates we are producing. It is actually very important to make sure that some of those people, after university, become creative enough to start self-employment and other micro-economic activities.

The livestock sector has been neglected so much and, as I finish, I want to applaud my friend hon. John Mbadi who came up with the amendments to the VAT Act. Instead of people talking about doing away with nominated Members and Women Representatives, please, talk about how to improve the tax collection in this country through other means.
