    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me first of all thank all the hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. This Motion received overwhelming support except for one hon. Member who, out of ignorance, opposed it but later on got to understand the importance of the Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as previous speakers have said, the issue of districts is a thorny one. Some people like the Teso and Suba agitated for the creation of new districts because they were being marginalised by the majority. We shall be helping these people out of a monumental problem if we gazetted districts so that they are aware that these districts are legally constituted. In bringing this Motion, I am just trying to push the Government to ensure that this is legally done. I hope from today onwards, the Office of the President will work fast and ensure that all these districts that have been created or are intended to be created are legalised very soon. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I must also show my appreciation for the amendments that have been moved by the Minister in the Office of the President. I am not opposing them in any way. They have passed through the House. I do not want to be selfish. My concern is to ensure that the 25 districts which have been in existence and have been benefiting from Government resources are legalised. Since we want to take them at the same time, I am not opposed to the idea. I would wish that this House passes this Motion overwhelmingly. With those few remarks, I beg to move."
