    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, devolution is in the hearts of our people, especially for those of us who come from the marginalized communities. There are a number of fundamental issues that I want you to consider. One, the Minister has brought these Bills to the House without the input of the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA). The CRA has put it in writing to Parliament that the Minister has deliberately ignored CRA, which is a constitutionally constituted Commission on devolution financing. Secondly, the Bills before us did not go through the relevant parliamentary committees as the Constitution provides. This Minister has avoided the Committee on Budget. These are fundamental issues and there is nothing about being practical. Even if it is the last few days of this Tenth Parliament, we want to leave a legacy that this Parliament has protected the devolved system of government in this country. That is why we are leaders and that is why our people passed the Constitution."
