Owen Baya","speaker":{"id":13373,"legal_name":"Owen Yaa Baya","slug":"owen-yaa-baya"},"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I presented an amendment to the Chiefs’ Act in July 2019. I prosecuted this matter with the Committee and the Budget and Appropriations Committee, but as at today, it has not come back to me. I have made many follow-ups with the Chairperson and Clerk of the Committee. Can I catch the attention of the Speaker for a minute? I have made many attempts to get feedback on this so that a report can be written for me to know if we can proceed or not. I would like to request your indulgence that the Clerk writes and forwards the report so that you can use your discretion to decide whether it is a money Bill or not. I need it to be debated in this Chamber but the time it has taken from July 2019 to date, I have tirelessly followed this matter and I would like to request for your indulgence and direction on the matter, Hon. Speaker. I thank you."}
