    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to support. The two issues which, as we go ahead, will need your guidance in future is that there were provisions which were in this Bill. If you allow me, I will cite them. There were provisions like the Evidence Act, Cap. 80; the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003; the Public Officers Ethics Act; the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act; the Leadership and Integrity Act of 2012 and the Bribery Act. Those are very important amendments which are in this Bill. I totally concur with the Leader of the Majority Party because I have set precedence. At any stage, any Bill may be signed by the Leader of the Majority Party through the concurrence of the Speaker. You can withdraw certain clauses. Going forward, for us to protect the independent institutions and commissions that are answerable to this House, at some stage – maybe next year – you will need to give direction. For example, you do not expect the Office of the Auditor-General to go through the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury and Planning for his amendments to be discussed in this House. That is an independent office which is only answerable to Parliament. That is what they have been doing. So, you expect the Auditor-General, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), the Controller of Budget, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and many other constitutional commissions The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
