It also gives time— and this is a constitutional requirement—for any individual whose licence is not issued to appeal and know the reasons for objection. In so doing, you allow the applicant to have their constitutional right to work as a citizen of this country."

"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. The import of this amendment is two-pronged. Firstly, the reasons for cancellations were not exhaustive, so we are providing two other reasons why a licence can be cancelled. The other reason is to provide for the review committee. The original Bill did not provide for a review committee. It only provided for review without providing any review committee. That is why members of the public and the Committee have provided a review committee comprising people at the county level."
