• 17 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talks about what the President said, he must be referring to media reports. The Constitution says that when the President makes a decision, he puts it in writing. Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has not tabled in this House anything written by the President which says that all functions shall be decentralized immediately. What we know and what we have been informed by the Cabinet Secretary for Devolution and Planning is that the President expressed his intention and readiness to devolve these functions, even all of them, when and if directed by request from counties ... view
