    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 200, be amended - (l) By deleting the proposed Section 61A; Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this is a Section which is dealing with courts. The proposal is saying that, if you are successful against the Commission, costs will not be awarded. I am surprised that the Attorney-General participated in this when he knows very well, even from the Government itself, where he is the Chief Legal Advisor, costs are recoverable! 3928 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES September 13, 2007 Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, we should leave the issue of court costs to the discretion of a particular court. So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I do not think I need to dwell so much on this issue. It is an issue of recovery of costs. The Commission is a body corporate capable of being sued and capable of suing. If they sue, costs should be recovered if the courts so agree. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I beg to move."
