"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I appreciate what hon. Members have said here. However, the fact of the matter is that institutions, in this country, are now being named after cities, towns and after people who have actually donated land. As I speak now, there are certain people who feel very strongly against institutions that have been named after individuals because they bear certain perceptions about those individuals. This institution should be named after the town in which it is situated, which is the capital city of Western Province. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, necessary that we avoid naming institutions or 3698 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 15, 2006 monuments after individuals because already the proposed name, which is an amendment to my amendment, has been used in naming gardens, roads and so on. So, what we really want is to name this institution after the town in which it is situated. I think that is a wise idea."
