    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I thank hon. Sungu for highlighting the issue. Perhaps, I may not have explained exactly what we are attempting to do. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as part of the operationalization of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, and in selecting the names of the people to fit in that Act, it became very clear that there was a glaring omission of the offices of the Treasury and the Attorney-General, which are standard in every body that is set up by this House. It has to have the representation of the Treasury and the Attorney-General, so that appropriate advice is provided to those bodies. We have discussed this issue with the Committee and they were in concurrence. It is on that basis that we have brought this amendment here for purposes of operationalizing the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, which is very vital. We are giving it the teeth and the institutional framework that is necessary. So, this amendment is, basically, a clean up of the Public Procurement and Disposal Act that was passed in this House. We are, currently, in the process of operationalizing. It is in that process that we discovered that weakness."
