    "content": "We moved from a parliamentary system to a presidential system. Our constituents, as I said earlier, still believe that we must do all those development programmes that we have spoken about, yet even with the NG-CDF in place, somebody would still go to court citing the Constitution and claiming that something is unconstitutional because a Member of Parliament is supposed to legislate, represent and play oversight role and have nothing to do with the execution of programmes. These outreach programmes will bridge the gap between what our constituents understand us to do and what we, constitutionally, are supposed to do. Having said those many things, I would like to thank those who represented us in the last IPU engagements and urge that we continue to bring the Reports to the Floor of the House. However, it should not be just reports, but also our agenda to the IPU should make its way to the Floor of this House, perhaps, by way of Motions. That way, we will have an opportunity to debate them and agree on what our representatives should take to the IPU and other global engagements. When they come back with feedback, we will be in a position to be engaged better because we will be aware of what was being done out there."
