    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the Bill which will provide the much needed comfort to the Provincial Administration. Of late, we have been having the chiefs and assistant chiefs demonstrating. They have been demanding that this Bill be brought before the House, so that we enact it. I sincerely thank the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security for bringing it to this House. The chiefs, assistant chiefs, DOs and DCs play an important role in dispute resolution on the ground. They provide security on the ground. They also make sure that they promote Government policies on the ground. This cannot go unnoticed. That is why this Bill will now address particular issues. I would like to urge the Government to make sure that it provides the much needed equipment and training to these officers of the Government. The Government should provide them with motor vehicles and motorcycles, especially the assistant chiefs and chiefs. It should provide vehicles for the DOs and DCs, so that Government policies can be translated and transacted on the ground. It would be good for the Government to recognize their good performance and the role played by the village elders. This particular group should be recognized and paid. I sincerely support this Bill and say the Provincial Administration should be retained."
