    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity, so that I ask the Assistant Minister something related to the newly-created districts. I would like to appreciate, on behalf of Mosop constituents, the gesture given by the Government that today we are having Mosop District. However, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister to clarify a few issues here. He has said that districts are created through consultations. We would like these consultations to be elaborate, so that we avoid in future, cases whereby you find constituents, after celebrating the creation of new districts, fighting over the district headquarters and the name of the district. We would like the Assistant Minister to see to it that when a new district is created in future, its name and headquarters be announced at the same time. Through consultations, again, we will not put our Government officers in trouble because of lack of facilities in most of these headquarters. In my new district, we do not have facilities. Some of the residents of Kabiyet have even vacated their own personal houses to create room for the public officers. It is necessary to give more funding, especially to the new districts. Could the April 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 619 Assistant Minister assure Mosop constituents that the facilities or the money shall be allocated, so that the District Commissioner (DC), District Education Officer (DEO) and all heads of departments shall find themselves in a comfortable environment so that they are able to deliver?"
