    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson. Listening very carefully to this, there is something that has always been a serious problem when we are dealing with corporate entities. In most cases, directors or boards of directors hide behind the corporate veil, as my learned friend Hon. Omulele has said. So, if we can, at this stage, caution the directors that: “Look! You are not going to hide behind the corporate face so that you do something very cautiously and intentionally, but you go and say that it is the company that did that.” If we can fashion this so that the aspect of responsibility is seriously given to those directors right from the beginning, it would help us a lot. The earlier position, as it was portending itself, was like we are criminalising the whole issue or making it unconstitutional. This is a good point and it is a good law that would be advancing to a higher level, so that we hold directors liable for their own acts, as the Leader of the Majority Party has said."
