"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Senate Majority Leader for Moving this Bill. I have been away for some time and I have not had time to interrogate the Bill, but the Senate Majority leader has given us a preview of what it entails. I will not belabour many points. It is true that this is an important Bill that seeks to amend Article 204 of Constitution. Many of the problems that we are dealing with as a nation can be traced to the issue of inequality and the fact that some regions in this country feel left behind in matters development for many years. It is also true that if we want to decentralise development and all other matters, the word ‘regional’ is quite big and does not talk to the real issues at the grassroots. Therefore, transferring the issue and matter of consideration to the level of constituency could make a lot of sense"
