    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. First, I want to state that I support the proposed amendment to the Act. My main concern lies on the control of the services provided by these organisations. The situation is such that if we are not careful, diverting funds from one person to the other, because of the huge enterprise whose control might not be 100 per cent, is very expensive. Therefore, the separation of the two services is timely because the activities that sometimes arise can create theft of not only private funds but also public funds. So, if the organisation is manageable, it will be easy to monitor some of those activities that are now being seen in the market. The other issue that concerns me is the licensing of bloggers. This is a group of people that can either destroy one or build one. If they are not properly licensed, then we are going to put our nation in a bad situation. Because of bloggers, licensing must be proper and rated well, so that we control bloggers who want to use the system. This amendment is going to create at least two companies, one under the financial service and the other under communication. It will be easy to monitor the services of the two organisations. I support this amendment and I urge Hon. Members to look at it carefully and support it. Thank you."
