Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to restate what I said and what my Chairman has just said that we took time with the Hon. Member for Mbita. We even met at a hotel.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I do not know whether the Chairman will have something different from what I am saying, but I remember I took a lot of time with her.

We are not clear ourselves. For us to come up and say we want gradual transfer of whatever function, we must go item by item. As far as I am concerned, most of the functions have actually been transferred to the counties. If it health, talk about health; if it is agriculture, talk about agriculture; if it is fisheries, talk about fisheries. Whatever it is, for us to put a blanket and say that functions should go gradually, we are not being clear. The Leader of the Majority Party should be very clear and come out specifically on the items ...

I know it is because of time that you are looking at the clock, but I quite agree with the Leader of the Majority Party. If we now take these services including roads--- I come from a place where they just want to have the roads, for example. We will be choking the Authority. I think we should have the mediation committee to be able to vote on this. Look at procurement, the guys are not able to---

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity. I am not a lawyer but I am a very practical person. I see problems in our country and, therefore, I support this Bill from my brother, Hon. Kaluma. When I voted for the Constitution, there were noises around. There were people who were saying that the Constitution that I voted for was not 100 per cent correct. Some elements or a portion of it, about 20 per cent, was not very good for our people. Therefore, in support of this Bill, I want to make it clear that all we ...
