84should be replaced by coming up with a sustainable project like, like we have got a lot of resources, water. Last time when itrained there was a lot of water around this area, if we would have ____ (inaudible) that water, and we would have come upwith a very big dam, and established irrigation around there, I think that would have eradicated poverty.The other thing, Mirco Credit schemes, enterpreneurship education: these people are purely Muslims and infact they discourageor, even the religion does not allow the issue of interests. If these people are given funds, which is interest free, I’m sure theywill be able to repay and you will have that fund as a revolving fund in the province. I’m sure it would have been of much use.Thank you.Com. Lenaola: Baada ya councilor tutamuita Fatuma Hamed.Yusuf Abdaah: My name is councilor Yusuf Abdaah, I would like to say about the system of Government, I would like topropose the unity resystem of Government whereby we will have only the President, and I propose for 2 chances for VicePresident.
