I have a fair suggestion. Could the Department pay every man who is owed money half of what he is owed tomorrow and sort through the remainder at the pace it is going, or faster if it can? This is a fair request at this stage. If I made this proposal, I would get many to second it here. It would be fair at this stage to those owed money for 2024. People are in a bad way without the money. They have budgeted on the basis of getting it. Is what I suggest possible?
