The cost implications have not been explained. Where will the money come from?

I support this bill, but please make sure the funding is ring-fenced so it actually reaches the people.

This duplicates a mandate that already exists at state level. Please reconsider.

Good initiative. Please include rural areas explicitly in the implementation plan.
- Ejiro E.Yobeoppose
I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.

This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.
