First of all, I want to say that this is a Bill that has gone through a lot of consultations. The Committee of Local Authorities has been involved in various workshops with the Ministry in trying to come up with this Bill. At the same time, I want to thank the Minister because when we passed the Constitution, he was the first to set up a task force that looked into matters of devolution in a very thorough manner."}
