    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I beg to move that The Urban Areas and Cities (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No. 4 of 2017) be read a Second Time. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a straightforward Bill. It is simple and brings amendments to the Urban Areas and Cities Act. I had the occasion to interact a little bit with the Technical Committee of the Summit which worked on this Bill. However, I have a lot of reservations on it which can only be addressed by the Standing Committee on Devolved Government and Intergovernmental Relations. The Bill has already been referred to them and I hope they will take on board the concerns of all other stakeholders. This Bill creates boundaries, urban areas and cities structure. At the top of that structure, is the Cabinet Secretary (CS) who is responsible for the matters related to devolution. If you read the original Bill, there is a definition of what qualifies to be urban areas, cities and the number of people who should reside there. That is provided for in the Urban Areas and Cities Act. An Ad Hoc Committee will be established from time to time The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
