Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As we acknowledge the presence and the achievements of Ms. Akida, who is in the House, I want to indicate that she is already an inspiration to the young girls. Football sport for girls in this country is not very old. It was introduced around 1993-1995....

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Waziri is the most valuable player on the football field for Bunge FC as a striker. Congratulations!

Very well. I am not sure that question was dealing with schools or Toi market, but I think there is a lot of juiciness on the matter affecting schools. One of the Members could bring a substantive Motion or petition on the issue of schools. There is one more Statement.

Very well. Is the Member for Konoin in the House?
