    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I support the Bill. As the Leader of the Majority Party and the seconder have put it, this Bill is meant to cure some of the issues which have been overlooked by builders, planners or those who are charged with the work of seeing how we lay down various structures in various parts of our country. The current Act concentrates much on urban areas. It is a deviation so that, at least, our rural areas can be brought into the picture and be properly planned. Physical planning is necessary in any environment like schools. It is important to plan our towns in terms of roads and other infrastructure. In some institutions, if you try to put up a structure, you misplace so many structures. At the end of the day, you waste a lot of space, which would have been used properly or you may put a structure where it does not fit. We have also had cases in some of the schools in my constituency where we are unable to put up administration blocks because, say, the dining hall is at the gate and the toilets are at the other corner of the institution. At the end of the day you find that the best place you can put an administration block is behind the classrooms or behind the dorms which is a displacement. Therefore, this Bill will cure these anomalies. If there are structures which have been put at the wrong place, they can be demolished and put where there is accessibility and where they can properly fit."
