"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I find it very unfortunate that the substantive Minister was here and then he walked away. He should have been here to deal with these matters. This is the reason why sometimes delegation without giving proper instructions brings confusion in this House. I wish to continue. This issue touches on our lives. We cannot wait for other people to tell us what to do. The legislation that we are trying to come up with exists in other countries. We cannot be going out there to be listeners. We must make a contribution. Maybe just to help the Minister, there have been Ministries in this country since Independence. If he goes to them, he will get experts who have been trained in this country. We have reports which have been well researched, but are all rotting on shelves. I am sure there are very many of them, even in the Ministry of Environment and Mineral Resources, the Ministry of Roads and the Ministry of Local Government. We must learn to be proactive. We cannot keep on waiting, and when someone makes a move, someone else starts opposing them. If you oppose this Motion then you do not belong to this country."
