    "content": "regulations were compelled by a court of law after the National Treasury wasted a lot of time on an issue that should have happened many years ago. I dare say that the Judiciary has really helped in the entrenchment of devolution. This House itself is a beneficiary of so many court orders that have made devolution work. This is another example of where our Judiciary has put their foot down to ensure that devolution is supported. Madam Deputy Speaker, the 0.5 per cent that is allocated to the equalization fund is not adequate. It cannot guarantee or wipe away the effects of nearly a century of exclusion and marginalization. These effects are so entrenched, dire and concretized that you require a martial plan where you pump in significant resources as I said yesterday. We need a policy paper or position that will take over from the Vision 2030. We are already in 2022 and we have not achieved much of what Vision 2030 anticipated. I am afraid to say that despite the great intellectual works that went into the Vision 2030 programme, we are yet to find a policy document that is deep and rich enough to the equivalent of Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965 despite its shortcomings. As I said yesterday, I am a big critic of Sessional Paper No.10 of 1965. However, the intellectual rigour and the richness of that document will remain with us for a long time. Without much ado, I support that these regulations be passed subject to the amendments that have been proposed by various Members. I thank you."
