"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, since the Chairman does not want to be informed, let me educate him. We are amending the Bill and not the talking notes by the Chairman. The Bill reads: “The Board shall prepare quarterly...” Indeed, that is where I am getting ‘quarterly’ from. We are amending the Bill, Chairman. Let me help the Chairman. The Hon. Speaker always encourages the chairpersons of committees to be present in the House throughout so that they can know what goes on in the House. The Chairman cannot be amending a Bill and does not have a copy of that Bill. Let me donate my copy to him. Our argument is simple. I have also consulted with the counsel in charge of the Committee who has confirmed that there is no basis for the National Assembly to get quarterly reports. Where will those quarterly reports go to? Our financial reports come to either the Public Investments Committee, in the case of a Board like this, or to the Public Accounts Committee. They only look at audited accounts. So, if that report comes to this House, what will this House do with it? That is the question."
