I'll rephrase my question. We are talking about empowering communities and giving them the ability to be more accountable and be able to govern themselves. They have to consider the financial accountability and the ability to generate new sources of revenue; one way is putting money in the bank and basically using it for investment. But, the way it's scheduled now is that because these are monthly instalments, they will not have the ability to do that. So will the Minister of MACA consider looking at the alternative of allowing them block funding on a longer period of time than just doing it once a month, say, over three months or six months?
