"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I support the amendment. As a House, we should not be in the habit of bringing substantive issues through miscellaneous bills. That is a basis that somebody can go to court to challenge a Bill that is passed because then we have not given the public ample time. One of the other issues that concern me and why we also need to look at this Bill separately is that we will need a law to oversee the one who performs the oversight role. The Leader of the Majority Party has said that we should ensure that we give teeth to EACC. What of a situation where the EACC or Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is corrupt? That is becoming extremely prevalent. The people who are mandated to oversee ask for bribes instead of doing their work. How do we deal with situations like that? We need another body to oversee them. I support the amendment."
