    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. While I rise to support this Motion, I wanted to bring in a number of things. One, to what extent or for how long should this House really work in a manner that a lot of things that are passed are not implemented? For how long are we going to act in vain? This House is aware that we have passed a number of resolutions and Motions that are hardly implemented. This Motion has been debated before. It is not the first time we are talking about it. It was passed in the 10th Parliament and many other Motions have been passed, including in this 11th Parliament and they are never implemented. Are we coming up with Motions that are implementable or not? What is happening at the level of the administration that some of those Motions are allowed to continue when we actually know that they are not going to be implemented? There is quite a lot that we are doing in vain as a House. This really needs to be checked either in terms of the form of content of our Motions which the House administration used to look at and the Office of the Speaker such that we do not appear like we are just a talking-shop. We passed certain regulations in this House concerning milk prices. We have passed certain Motions on stopping the nuclear-related activities and a lot of them have never been implemented. One time in the Committee on Implementation, it was saddening that we had passed many Motions in vain. While I want to support this Motion, one thing really needs to be looked at. Five years after the adoption of the new Constitution, the Provincial Administration was supposed to be restructured to align with the Government structure. This has not happened in a manner that one can easily say that we have merged the national Government together with the county government in a manner that the Provincial Administration is either serving both or one, and when it is serving one, how it relates with the other. This is something that is a failure. Five years are gone and the Government really needs to look at this adequately. The Provincial Administration needs to be structured to align with the new Government structures. Many times when we are talking about the Provincial Administration, hardly do we extend the same to the village elders. Many times when we are talking about the Provincial Administration, it ends at the assistant chief level and yet, the people who do the bulk of work at the lowest and the last in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
