    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to move that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (Amendment) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2024), be now read a Second Time. Hon. Speaker, this is a small Bill that was brought to this House by the entity known as the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO), in their deliberations, when they retreated to look at what recommendations they would make for better governance of the country. When the Bill was brought in draft form, we were informed by NADCO that we would not alter the Bill, not even a comma. Therefore, ours was to ensure that the Bill is published, there is public participation, and it is brought here for a Second Reading. When the Bill came after First Reading, it was committed to the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, who considered it alongside the communication as to what extent we would involve ourselves with the amendment to the Bill. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
