    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, let me thank and congratulate the Committee for bringing this amendment. When we were contributing in the Second Reading of this Bill, I talked about possibility of the Cabinet Secretary having been given a lot of powers through this Bill to which looking back may be necessary. However, there is need for accountability. We have previously had cases where people in public offices favour certain regions with public resources in terms of allocation. So, I am very happy and excited if the Committee has brought this amendment, at least there will be disclosure of how much goes where and even disaggregate it in terms of small, micro or medium enterprises. Also, they will find out how many youth, women and enterprises of people living with disability have benefited from this guarantee. This is because, this is the scheme being set up from public funds. So, congratulations to the Committee and thank you very much for a job well done in bringing this amendment."
