This is long overdue. My community has waited years for this and I hope the House passes it quickly.
- Ladi O.Kebbioppose
I do not think another agency is the answer. Strengthen the existing one instead of creating new overheads.
- Tijani C.Kwarasupport
I support this bill, but please make sure the funding is ring-fenced so it actually reaches the people.
- Maikudi A.Ogunneutral
Can the committee clarify how this interacts with existing legislation on the same subject?
