    "content": "In a related version, I want to talk about representation because it is a popularly read chapter in the new harmonized draft. What is representation for? At the end of the day, the end result of representation is to ensure that the people get goods and services. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very difficult. In your constituency, Lagdera, from Liboi at the Somali border all the way to a centre very close to Garbatulla called Banane, which is almost at the centre of this country, and anybody accepts that to be one constituency with an effective representation, this is gross injustice on the part of the institutions of this country that have put that constituency like that. That must change. That is why, as an hon. Member has said, the infant mortality rate is very high. With all the restrictive and the punitive laws that have been there, people have been massacred in Wagalla, Markamali, Garbatulla and then somebody says that the population is small. Is it small when you are partly responsible for devastation in that place? You cannot eat your cake and have it. I want to come to the issue of drought. This last drought has been very bad. Its effects have not been measured. I want to suggest that the Ministry of Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 puts in place a measure to see the effects of drought because the poverty index figures that hon. Ethuro uses are no longer valid. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
