"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the greatest problem now is that we have 42 Ministers, 51 Assistant Ministers and no satisfaction on the ground. The most worrying thing to me is what we wanted to satisfy more than worrying about having 42 Ministers and 51 Assistant Ministers. We shall not satisfy what we wanted to. Instead, we are creating what we are supposed to be killing. May 14, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1013 The problems that arose soon after the general election last year tended to divide us along tribal, regional and party lines. We know our political parties have been ethnicised. We are trying to promote that even when are coming up with a Cabinet. This law should help us resolve those things. Nigeria, which is very huge, dared not discuss regions. They decided to come up with 19 Cabinet Ministers, looked at their qualifications, put them on board and said: \"These are national leaders of repute\". We need to change the way we look at our Cabinet. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support the issue of a lean, clean and performing Cabinet. It is very sad sometimes to have a Cabinet Minister, who attends international fora and can only read the written speech but cannot interpret it!"
