"The STU votes in favor of yes - do allow the Private Enterprise a chance to compete with the National Hospitals on an equal playing field. But I implore the members of the Coalition to make sure, that rural areas would not be subjected to any unfair monopolies that might form - due to the lack of any other quality healthcare in their region," spoke Ahmar Jurhen.
The Samgolan Technocratic Union still believed that equal competition would promote progress and better standards. Although he was doubtful if this would reach the rural regions - which might have to rely on unfair prices, if no alternative would be available. At any rate, the STU would keep their eyes open on this subject - and step in, should the situation in the rural region spiral out of control.
With the Administration pushing ahead on the ideal of a Rail Line to connect the many Provinces of Samgolan - the STU has pushed into debate a Bill to namely help push the agenda forward on a reasonable platform. As the STU indicated that having the private sector hadnle the construction with government oversight - would help the Rail Line be constructed in a reasonable pace and without having it bogged down in government ineffiency, bureacracy or corruption.
Preamble: This Bill aims to make it so, that the construction of the Kamidye Rail Line would be done by the Private Sector. Article 1: Private companies will bid on the opportunity to design and build the Kamidye Rail Line. [Competition] Article 2: The government will maintain small oversight over the Construction Project, to make sure it is build up to Samgolan' Safety Standards - yet will not directly interfere in the building of the Rail Line. [Neutral]
With constant debate and conflict soaring through the new Coalition and Opposition - Ahmar Jurhen, and by extention the STU had decided to be the voice of the people. As Ambari Zume, was currently occupied with slowly talking out ideas among the Party and developing new ways of utilizing the gathered funds - he had asked the MNA in adding a sxith Amendment in for the Nation War Monument Bill.
"We must never forget. Whom suffered most in this war, we must never forget - that despite the many soldiers who fought to end this conflict - that many innocents died before that could be achieved. Some of them, we knew as our fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers. Some sadly remain forgotten into the sands of time - for we may never find them anymore in this world or any ways of identifying them again."
"As such, we need to also remember their names. So we shall both remember those who fought...and those who sadly died - so we may never again, turn our guns against our own people ever again," finished Ahmar, after his Proposed Amendment for the NWM Bill.
Overview: This proposal will create a national monument for the soldiers of the Samgolan army who died during the civil war. The initial cost of the monument is $31,000,000 with an additional $4,500,000 to maintain the monument each year.

Propose Addition to National War Monument Bill. Vote Yes on 1993-1994 Budget.
Despite having been elected after an accident had killed the previous electee and riding-out on extremely low turnout rate - the STU representative in the National Assembly had already gotten busy in their duty. Ahmar Jurhen - a Muslim and a former Math Teacher, had already taken the stage in organizing what meager political power they had into action. As they had gotten to power in Ziwa - they had worked out a strategy to work from where they gained traction - to slowly build up from there and let their supporter base grown even further. To show those whom had voted for them, that their vote wasn't wasted and they could trust in the Samgolan Technocratic Union to listen to them on a reasonable base - even if they were from a rural and poor area.
At the time Ahmar Jurhen was taking the stage in the National Assembly - namely on the subject of National Militias still an issue in the Province of Ziwa. One of the key factors that the SD had used in riding to power in Ziwa.
"-I have not yet formed an opinion on the Bassong Administration. As they haven't yet taken any acts, that I might agree or disagree with. For this reason, I will Abstain. Instead, I will talk about a greater situation. Namely the National Militias that still trouble and plague our nation. Especially in Ziwa."
"Most of their lands aren't as well-developed as that of the other Provinces, yet still they are plagued by these Militias. The war is over, these men should lay down their arms and return to their homes and families. The new Administration should make it a core value of our first government and aid these people in returning to civilian life in a calm and reasonable way - providing incentives if need be. The civil war had been a suffering for many families, especially those living in the rural areas. We can't move forward in such a way, if we allow these old marks to remain on our nation."
"Ziwa is one Province, whose wounds still remained raw and open. As we were elected by the people, it is our duty to them - to help heal this," finished Ahmar Jurhen - the first speech in the history of the Samgolan Technocratic Union. It would be one that would either be one to remember in future moments or a forgotten note. Their funding was low as it is - but Ambari Zume had thought the prize was worth the attempt.
Especially, as Ahmar Jurhen had made his speech about the situation in Ziwa. Ambari was organizing a modest fundraising campaign in the same province. Under the name of Penny For Your Thoughts - it would focus on helping to fund the STU for other similar situations. Written in the similar style as all other STU pamphlets - although tailored for the more poor and Muslim kind. Namely showing small graphs on indicating how their funds would be utilized and used - currently and in the future. All in all - a modest start for a new party, hoping to achieve above its expectations.
