"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if the functions are transferred next week, this House will still have the teeth to ensure that the resources are transferred. Whereas His Excellency the President talked about 1st July, 2013, nothing in law provides that particular timelines should be provided for. Even if we discover midway that a function has been transferred and there are no resources, it will be unconstitutional as stipulated under Article 187 of the Constitution. Therefore, the House will still have the powers. Even if the Cabinet Secretary by that time give us an answer that says: “Yes, we have transferred the functions and these are the resources” then we can assess the adequacy of the resources transferred, based on the answers they will give us. We will not act in futility."
