"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, councillors have never hampered the delivery of service. Delivery of service is hampered by the interference of the Minister and the chief officers who are answerable to the Minister. Corruption reigns because councillors are forced out of circumstances to look for any means to show on the ground, where they are voted, that they are working. If that means looking for a way they can give their constituents plots, that is what councillors have been forced to do. It is not because they are corrupt; you have to prove leadership. If the only way you are going to prove is to show something that you are doing, how is it then that we can blame councillors for the lack of commitment of a Ministry to change an Act that allows gaps to corruption? I do not think that it is fair for us to continue a debate about councillors in this country when we are not looking at the review of that Act."
