    "content": "Clause 20 of the Bill seeks to put in place safety guards for those whose payments are overdue. This brings in the aspect of pending bills. We need to support and reduce the number of people who supply goods and services but are not paid. They suffer because they may have taken loans or subcontracted other entities and they are not able to then pay. This creates a ripple effect within the economy. Creating these safety guards and bringing this conversation into this Act then continues to buttress what we have been talking about on the issue of the pending bills in our country. Section 155 continues to tighten the very aspect of providing a report to prove unavailability of local skilled and unskilled labour. This is where one has been awarded a contract to supply something and it is not available. The accounting officer is demanded to provide a report. I do not know what else we can celebrate than this very firm clause which makes me really support it."
