    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, my Chairperson of the Committee on Devolved Government, Sen. (Prof.) Lesan is quite optimistic. We have tried this in the last two conferences, sat in those committees with optimism. In fact, I remember that in the first devolution conference, we threatened not to participate before some of our concerns were taken on board. So, these are some of the challenges. We do not want to simply go and glorify people; and that conference is managed in such a manner that it tries to glorify and not necessarily give a very objective critique of devolution and even take up issues that governors do in this country; which must be noted by everybody. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to advise Sen. (Prof.) Lesan; as we go there - the last time I was in that conference, I was put in a panel of nine people; four governors – in other words even your view will be in a minority.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
