• 26 Oct 2023 in National Assembly: Again, in my constituency, one of my predecessors bought a grader. The proposed amendments to Section 25 states: “(7) Projects may include the acquisition of vehicles, machinery and other equipment for the constituency.” We are allowing for the acquisition of machinery but we do not have funds for recurrent expenditure like fuel and employment of people to run these machinery.

At the outset, I want to state that delegated simply means that you are ceding part of your power to a third party. When you delegate, it is expected of you to supervise and give an okay to whatever it is you delegated to the other party. It is of interest that when Parliament delegates, we do not get an opportunity to look back and see what it is that we asked the other party to do and ... view
