    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- (i) THAT, Clause 29(1) of the Bill be amended by deleting the word \"two\" and substituting therefor the word \"three.\" (ii) THAT, Clause 29(2) be deleted. (iii) THAT, a new Subclause (9) be inserted as follows: October 16, 2007 PARLIAENTARY DEBATES 4499 \"A male employee shall be entitled to two weeks paternity leave with full pay.\" Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I think it is important for us to give women three months and not two months for the purposes of the woman's pre-natal and post-natal health, as well as looking after and weaning the child. There are very many women who have to milk their breasts in their offices which means that two months is not sufficient. Then, there is Clause 29(2) which suggests that employers who give paid maternity leave should be reimbursed by the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). This is impossible because in a Third World country like ours, our economy cannot actually sustain this. This is not something that is actually done elsewhere. Therefore, if we leave this provision in the Bill, it will negate the provision of this clause---"
