Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. According to my Order Paper, I can see that we are now tackling Motion No.10. I have not been given any convincing reason why we have bypassed Order No.9. Is it in order that we have an Order Paper that we are not going to respect?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion in its entirety. This is a Motion that was supposed to be introduced maybe 40 years ago. I want to state that this Motion is in agreement with the Government policy of decentralization. It is in tandem with Vision 2030 and it supports the spirit of the new Constitution of devolution.

I stand here to give our new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) the benefit of the doubt and to state that his Speech was full of content both positive and negative, but I want to be optimistic because Rome was not built in a day. Since he has not had time to implement, ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. I support all the Members who have been selected to this Committee. In my opinion, these are leaders and Senators who are equal to this important task. I have engaged with them at different levels and I think they will deliver. However, before I proceed, let me take this opportunity to congratulate all Senators present here, elected and nominated to be Members of the Second Senate since Independence. This was a very rigorous process. I am also very happy that we have ended up with you as our Speaker ...
