    "content": "I also want to mention something about the fact that projects at the constituency level are supposed to be conceived by the people themselves, and acted upon by the committees. What worries me is this: How is it that we have this thing they are calling Information Technology (IT) hubs? In my constituency, we have written back to say that there may be a need, but not for the four hubs. But they are being lumped on us. I wish Hon. Maoka Maore was here. However, I think his committee needs to be awake to hear what we are saying. You cannot be forced to do projects that have been conceived at the national office. Maybe, I do not need a hub. For example, where they wanted to put up the hubs in Ndaragwa is somewhere in the bush where the youth would not even access them. So, I think it is important that they listen to us. If it is a question of allocating funds for these hubs, the committee at the local level should do it, not at the national level. I know my time is up. I wish I had more time like the Leader of the Minority Party. I wish to thank the Committee for the work they have done. The NG-CDF is the most important thing. It is a success story in this country. We need to grow it and grow it well. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
