"content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank you for allowing me to join my colleagues in stressing the importance of retaining this arm of Government called the “Provincial Administration”. I want to support and say that an orderly Government must distribute duties properly and ensure that every sector is covered. When it comes to the Provincial Administration, there are issues that cannot be sorted out even by those us who want to become Governors like me. Security of a nation is a national matter. We should not compromise it and put it in an area where it can be compromised. Secondly, it is very important for us to note that in some Articles of the Constitution, including the one that talks about land, communities have been empowered to use community laws. There is nobody else who will organize the communities and their elders other than the chiefs. Therefore, we need the chiefs and the DCs. We need them in whatever way even if we give them a different name at a later stage. I think the step that the Minister has taken is very important."
