    "content": "Secondly, on the issue of the Digital Innovation Hubs, we all agree they are important. However, the implementation of the same should be properly structured so that it does not inconvenience Members. When we came to this 12th Parliament, there was a circular which came from the national board requesting all MPs to convene ward public meetings to discuss and agree on priority projects in every ward. The requirement was that there be minutes which then would be forwarded to the board. On that basis, the board demanded from MPs and their own committees at the constituency level to submit projects which are informed by the ward meetings. So, it was a very big surprise when we started seeing demands coming from the headquarters that we must have these innovation hubs. It is important that the board adheres to their own guidelines. Otherwise, we will think they have their own vested interests in some of these things. I do not think that will be the best way to go forward."
