    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Allow me to say something about the request for a Statement by Hon. Mumina. There are so many administrative units—some date back almost three years since they were gazetted and have never been operationalised. There is need to have a policy. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security and his Committee should know that there is need to have a policy on the creation of administrative units. Many Cabinet Secretaries who take the Ministry of Interior and National Administration office create and gazette many administrative units. They gazette their villages into districts and their locations into divisions. They do that without a budget. We have so many examples of these challenges across the country. It will now require that the current Cabinet Secretary operationalises the administrative units that are gazetted before he gazettes others. There is need to do that. Otherwise, we will have Cabinet Secretaries coming in, doing their own things and then leaving. So, as the Committee responds to this request, there is a need for this House to come up with a regulation policy that will guide the creation of administrative units in the country. I support that request for a Statement."
