    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for the enormous support they have given this Report. It is true that we had few days to do this work. But, given the kind of input and the issues we have touched, they are issues that have been raised over and over again. It is good that the House appreciates the need for us to move swiftly to see that these things are not repeated year in, year out, by this or the next Committee. It would not make sense. This House owes councillors. Councillors are elected just like us but unfortunately their hands are tied. When it comes to doing their work, they are left at the mercy of the executive officers because of the monster called Chapter 265. This House has an obligation to dispense with this Chapter. Reforms should be done in that area so that the concerns of the House about the utilisation of the Local Authorities Transfer Fund (LATF), which is much more than the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is addressed. The work done by the CDF is seen. I think we need to move swiftly in areas of corruption and reforms so that this country is a better place. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
