¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, please grant me one more minute.

¶ 02 Finally, under this citizen Budget, with great effort and public participation, we are rebuilding the country. On the most barren soil, we sowed seeds; now the shoots are surfacing. The Opposition may see this as a death trap for them, but we cannot help that. Together with the people, we will nurture these seedlings and deliver results to all our citizens — towards a prosperous country and better lives. With that conviction, I conclude.

¶ 03 Thank you.
