George Murungara","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to reply. I thank the Members who contributed to the proposed amendment to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission Act. We went through what the Bill entails. It is a very short Bill with only two proposed amendments. Although it is a National Dialogue Committee Bill (NADCO) Bill, the Committee carried the first proposed amendment and proposed an amendment to the second proposal, which is a deletion. We were able to justify why we are proposing that we amend Section 5 on the qualifications of the Chairperson of the Commission, and we believe that is convincing to the House."}
