    "content": "an amendment to. I was told it is money Bill, but I do not think it is –that the Committee should hire experts and not co-opt people. This is poor governance practice. You cannot find a system through which people are hired and then you go and co-opt. The composition of the appeal’s body is good but, I urge that we include the gender commission and also to just announce a little more of the role of the UNHCR. Under Clause 19, I would also suggest that the breaches on non-reform and principal should also include issues that I have spoken about including social and gender based violence or forced pregnancies. We know of countries where there have been such cases. There is also too much discretion under Clause 19. Too much discretion is usually the mother of dictatorship and impunity. So, maybe, we need to limit that. The 60 days that is provided under Clause 22 is too short. I would like special attention be given to persons with disabilities, women and children, but I think the old law had a stronger provision which we need to strengthen. Under Clause 28, we need to strengthen both rights and duties under the UN Conventions of 1951, its protocol and the AU Conventions so that we actually provide specifically. Article 4 is on religious rights. I had indicated before that we need to include the issue of nondiscrimination, which I do not see in the Bill. In terms of time, I have really tried. We do not have time. Otherwise, I will try and push some through amendments. I support."
