¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, I make a special request. Local Authorities can do a great deal now. Under the coordination of the Governors, convene Commissioners and Chairmen of Local Authorities to urgently approve funds through a rapid procedure. Otherwise, delays will cost us opportunities to cut canals, clear blockages and desilt waterways to prevent flooding. Please enable this.
