    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Bill. I would like to congratulate the Committee for working on this Bill. I have said it before and I would like to say it again, that when Bills like this one are discussed on the Floor of the House of Parliament in any country, people should know that something is happening in that country. There is serious work going on in the economy of that country. If you compare our country with western countries like the United Kingdom (UK), you will find that buildings in their residential areas are very boring and monotonous because they have similar buildings all over. However, they have plans that serve them for a very long time. They have centuries of planning that have gone into the construction of that great country. We should call a spade a spade. We have lagged behind in physical planning. That is why we have cases like the ones that have been mentioned by the Members who spoke before me. In Westlands, Brookside Drive, there are huge tall buildings that take up road reserves and areas where rivers are flowing. What happens? Heavy rains leave roads constructed a month ago in tatters. We should ask ourselves who is responsible for such poor planning. Without pointing fingers, we are responsible. I am a serious advocate of for corruption. If giving bribe is bad, then taking bribe is equally bad. You cannot be safe in any of those aspects. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
