"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. With a lot of respect for my Commissioner, why should we enact a law where if somebody feels violated… I am not a lawyer but, is it possible for us to put provisions in this Act for somebody who feels violated? What is the purpose of the courts? That should now be in the precinct for a person who feels that he has been violated. The first clause was very good but the second one has a lot of malice. Currently, the KTDA and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries are in vicious cycles in court. Nothing is happening in the tea sector, including the election of directors. If we allow this to happen, we are saying that somebody can go to court tomorrow regarding what we have done in this House this evening up to now because there is a clause that allows him to contest in court. Members of this House, as we legislate, let us make laws for posterity. We should not make laws for certain individuals, sectors or corporations. I disagree with this and oppose the amendment. I can see that the Leader of the Majority Party is agitated as I am. He can give us more guidance."
