    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also wish to urge the Ministry that they take into account the dynamics that have taken place in our society which are: the growth of our population, our increased needs which called for the need to take services closer to wananchi through the creation of new districts. It is also high time that the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government went ahead to create new local authorities that are viable based on the creation of those new districts. Some of them may not be viable and there may be need to merge some. I think there are some local authorities which are still very far from the people they serve. I would like to see that being done urgently; that we create new local authorities that are viable, based on the new districts. We should also merge the local resources that are available at the grassroots and put them under the management and supervision of local authorities. There are so many local resources that are supposed to benefit the local people through the supervision and management of local authorities that are not really under the management of local authorities at the moment. To ease service delivery, we should harness those resources, pool them together and put them under the management of local authorities."
