Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I stand to support this amendment because the 60 per cent that was initially there was, in my view, over- ambitious. It would create a situation where we do projects like building of hospitals and roads, but we would fail to maintain or run them. Therefore, services would not be there. We would build dispensaries, but we would not be able to man them or to provide the drugs. Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, it is also important that at this early stage we set some ceilings. This is because allowing counties to use their ...

It is unfortunate that nothing from the Statement says what problems have been encountered and what has been corrected. The Constitution talks of non-discrimination.
