    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the purpose of this is to repeal Section 31 of the Employment Act of 2007. If you read the Employment Act closely, the Section provides for housing. It clearly provides that an employer is obligated to provide reasonable housing accommodation for its employees near their place of employment. Secondly, an employer is obligated to pay an employee House Allowance or reasonable accommodation. If we repeal this provision in Section 31 of the current Act, it would mean that employers who are paying House Allowance will cease forthwith. It also means that the mortgages that are given by employers shall cease forthwith. This amendment will have dire consequences for those in the Public Service who are enjoying House Allowance and mortgages because they will no longer benefit from it. We should look at this to see whether Section 31(b) and (c) exist in the current Employment Act."
