    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On behalf of the Leader of the Majority Party, I wish to move this, Bill. I beg to move that the WAQF Bill (National Assembly Bill No.73 of 2019) be read a Second Time. The Bill seeks to repeal and replace the Wakf Commissioners Act, Cap 109 which is an Act of 1951 and in need of updating. This is to encompass the developments which have taken place since the enactment to regulate the administration of Waqf . I am largely informed that there was a legislative proposal seeking to amend the outdated Wakf Commissioners Act, Cap 109 with the same objective as this Bill. However, I was updated that the Hon. Member sponsoring the legislative proposal who was Hon. Abdullswamad Sheriff Nassir, Member for Mvita Constituency gladly accepted to drop it in support of this Government sponsored Bill."
