    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am just saying that it was admitted by a Chair as substantive as yourself, who was sitting on that Chair when this document came before the entire staff who should have brought it to her attention. But nevertheless, I will not go back there. I conclude by saying that one of the areas that require amendment, and I will be suggesting to my good friend, is in terms of penalties. We need to recognize that we need rehabilitation as one of the punishments rather than a fine. We should look at the social aspects where rehabilitation is very important. Finally, obviously this Bill will occasion additional expenditure. We are talking about starting a firm that will be administered by an Accounting Officer. These are public funds and this will be an additional expense. Therefore, I hope that the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minster for Finance or the Government, when they are supporting this Bill, as I trust they will, will undertake to make the necessary financial inclusion in the Annual Estimates, so that this Bill can have teeth. The enforcements provisions in the Bill can be of value. With those remarks, I beg to support."
