    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, where there is a provision, like in paragraph 17 of the Sixth Schedule which says that within five years after the effective date, the national Government shall restructure the system of administration commonly known as the Provincial Administration to accord with and respect the system of devolved government established under this Constitution, it requires, therefore, that two things must be done. One, the Govenrment must provide to Parliament its intentions, and the procedures that it is going adopt to restructure the Provincial Administration to accord with devolved government and, secondly, to establish certain laws. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know that there are two Acts that were passed in the Tenth Parliament. One was the County Governments Act and the other is the Transition to County Government Act. The County Governments Act establishes exactly how county governments will work. The Transition to County Government Act gives certain transitional provisions in moving from one centralized government to two forms of government. What has happened is that the national Government has taken certain actions affecting personnel in what is commonly known as the Provincial Administration without proper policy. This is creating a lot of problems because, for example, there was a lot of hullabaloo about Provincial Commissioners, because there were no Provincial Commissioners under the present Constitution. There is nothing called a province. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
