    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not hear the Minister accept that one of the cardinal responsibilities of a local authority is to provide basic services, one of them being housing. I want to let the Minister know that in advanced countries like the UK and elsewhere, if one has been a tenant of a council for a number of years, say 10 to 15 years, you are given an option to buy. In this case, these tenants have been in these houses for between eight and 10 years, they are nice tenants whereas the council wants to put its employees in those houses. Noting that it is the duty of the council, among other things, to provide housing for its residents would the Minister consider directing the council to repeal the eviction notices and to, instead, rent houses for its staff while waiting to expand these houses? Otherwise, failure to do that, Mr. Minister, you will agree with me that you have poverty of policy and leadership in the councils."
