I accept that the section is not part of the Bill but there is a duty, in terms of the transfer in the jurisdiction boundaries, between the city and the county regarding the city and county sheriff, and the coroner. The point that I made last night, and I make again tonight, and I shall keep doing so, is that it is about the provision of services for the people. The Minister said that 19% of the population will be involved in the transfer of services to the city. It is incumbent on us and it behoves us to put in place the provision of proper services. That is the point I am making.
