    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I totally support the amendment. I associate myself with the statement directly from the Cabinet – that, henceforth, all professional bodies must fund their activities independent of Government Exchequer so that they can be independent enough to check the excesses of the Government. The world over, professional bodies check the government. If such bodies are funded by the government, they will have no moral authority to question and oversee the government. We should look at all laws that establish professional organisations and quickly, review their legal frameworks to align them with this policy. I support the amendment."
