Thank you, Speaker. Deputy President, while we appreciate what government has done to capacitate our people through the development programmes to which you have alluded, we nevertheless believe that government can do more.
An area which government needs to give attention to is the facilitation of access to microfinance in the form of small loans to those who need some capital to start their own businesses. So, what I want to know from the Deputy President is whether government can help to facilitate these small loans without collateral and at subsidised interest rates on behalf of qualifying poor people. Thank you.
