    "content": "We have ratified the Abuja Declaration and we know the percentage of money that should be going to some of the health sector. If we do any amendments, we must ensure we carry that onboard. We keep discussing and arguing over the Division of Revenue Allocation (DORA) yet we are in a country that has declared the percentage of money that should be going to these sectors. Any International law that has been ratified is as good as our own law. I urge that when Committees sit and look at these laws, they should also comb the international laws ratified by our country so that we inject the same information into our new laws. That way we will be very clear on the amount of money going to the devolved units. It is obvious that health, agriculture and education has not been taken care of according to what we have ratified. Some of these areas have really affected the social development sector of the country. I congratulate the Committee and as I do so challenge the other Committees to comb further so that we can up with laws that do not need to be amended in the next 20 to 50 years. I support."
