    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended by─ (a) renumbering the existing provision as subclause (1); (b) inserting the following new sub-clause immediately after the renumbered sub- clause (1) ─ “(2) Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Board shall ensure that any member suspected to have committed an offence under the Constitution or any other written law, vacates office to pave way for investigations.” The justification is that it is a punitive clause which provides for the action to be taken against Members who are found to have committed offences. We are saying that there is need for a fair and independent investigation before any action is taken upon them. So, it is actually a good practice when you introduce a punitive clause in law. Thank you."
