    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have lauded quite a number of things that the Minister said. But I think one of the things that he does deserve a major pat on the back for his enhancing devolution of funds. I am hoping that this is the first step; that, progressively, up to the year 2012, we shall be seeing enhanced devolution of funds because that is the only way we can ensure that there is development, especially in marginalized areas. This has actually become the vehicle for change that is actually being copied or emulated by neighboring countries and, therefore, it is important that we actually devolve more funds. I know that there are questions that have been raised in relation to how we manage those devolved funds. If there is one thing that I can say without fear of contradiction, it is that for the first time, if you walk in this country, you can actually see public buildings in areas that, before, you would never have seen. We can now see schools, hospitals and roads in areas that the Government has never reached before. Therefore, we are hoping that, in future, that would be enhanced further."
