Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is very sad that, as a country, we cannot take care of our teachers. It is surprising that teachers who retired from 1997 to date have not been paid, yet the money is there. The Government and, somehow the Ministry of Finance, is finding excuses not to pay our teachers. It is really sad. Some of those teachers have died and they cannot enjoy the benefits of their labour; they toiled and they should be supported. We must ensure that the Ministry of Finance gives this money to the Ministry of Education, so that they ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also want to thank the Minister for Finance for saying that he is going to give money to pay to primary and secondary schools, because as we speak now, we have a lot of problems in the country arising from non- payment of the monies that are supposed to be paid for the free primary and secondary education programmes.

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is extremely important that year in, year out, we review the issues of our teachers because they play a cardinal role in this country. Somehow, we have neglected the profession of teachers; I think it is high time that we appreciated the kind of work they are doing. We must, as a country, support teachers and the Ministry.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to take this opportunity to congratulate our Members to the EALA and urge them that they are our representatives there. I hope that they will hasten the integration of the East African Community (EAC), so that we become one country, politically, as well as socially and economically. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the kind of elections that we have had in this House today should be a precursor to what should be in the coming general elections. The country has witnessed the very peaceful elections that we have held in this House. I hope and pray ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Prime Minister for the comprehensive answer that he has given. But there are other disasters that the Prime Minister has not mentioned. There are many cases of lightning where I come from and many schools and other institutions have been affected. In my constituency, many school- going children have even died as a result of lightning when there are thunderstorms. Does the Government take care of this disaster which affects our children and is prevalent in some areas which experience a lot of rain? I would like to know that.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that the Assistant Minister gives us an answer that this gentleman was killed during a drinking spree. That is a very unfortunate statement coming from the Assistant Minister. It is very clear that insecurity in this country has gone up. It is very clear that this Ministry is not doing its work. I know this House will give money to the Ministry in order to buy whatever he is asking for, but is this Ministry doing its work? Could the Assistant Minister tell us what measures he has taken to ensure ...

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have said very clearly that Manga District does not have a police station and not even a single police post. Is the Assistant Minister in order to mislead this House that there is a police station or post in my district? More so, could he name it here and now?
