    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill and to say, at the outset, that I support it because it is timely. In fact, I think it should have been passed like yesterday. I would like to speak on a number of amendments that I would have wanted to see in this Bill. I am happy that Hon. Nyikal, who is a Member of that Committee, spoke to one that I felt would have been counter-productive, particularly Section 15 of the principle Act. We would have wanted to propose that they drop it because the whole issue of matching contributions for employers at this very difficult time would be counter-productive in many ways and even punitive to our employers. Perhaps, it would even have caused employers to look for ways of cutting those expenses. An employer may have incurred job losses or dropped out of some of the insurance schemes that they had for their employees. I am happy to hear that they have acceded to that. It is extremely welcome.
