    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There are a number of issues which have been raised. I will respond to them not in any order because I was taking notes in a hurry to try and capture the many speakers. The first thing that I want to deal with is the issue on whether the enactment of a new Constitution would entail the collapse of the current Coalition Government. I wish to state here that, that is not true at all. If one looks at the transitional arrangements within the proposed Draft Constitution, he or she will find that there are very clear provisions that state that provisions as enshrined in the current agreement will run until 2012. In fact, they are enhanced in the transitional arrangements so that the Coalition Government will remain secure until the 2012 elections. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to very quickly say that when we talk about the Vision 2030, and this was raised by Mr. Mbadi, we said that the proposed Constitution is tied to it because the Vision 2030 is also premised on the basis of good governance being the pillar of ensuring that the rest of the issues in terms of economy and infrastructure development and so forth are done in a proper manner. So, Vision 2030 would definitely be in jeopardy if good governance and good laws are not put in place. I hope that deals with that aspect on the Vision 2030."
