• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to support the Bill. If we pass this Bill, we will remove the anxiety that chiefs, DCs and DOs have been having about their positions. They will be assured that they are still in their positions as civil servants in this country. We are going into a new system, namely, the devolved system. We are going to have county governments.
