Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you read the totality of the Bill, the way it is drafted and set, it is in such a way that will delete the Distress for Rent Act. I must confess and admit that I have not gone through the amendments since the process began. I just hope and pray that the Act throughout the amendments has clearly realigned it so that we do not have an overlap between this Bill and the Rent Distress Act. I just hope and pray. I just wanted to go on record that there must be a clean-up process to ensure that whatever was made and the provisions made here and the Rent Distress Act are not retained here, so that we have an overlap of a jurisdiction. It will become messy, bad and so embarrassing to the National Assembly. I hope our legal team has done their bit to clean-up and make sure there is no overlap. I say so out of the practice that I implemented the three various Acts for a whopping 30 years. I know where the problems are, I know where the challenges are. I just hope that the legal team has done its work properly. I just wanted to go on record that I have already raised my concerns, and I hope the legal team will clean it up."}
