    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have asked my colleague, hon. Wetangula, to move the amendment and I will continue with my response. The reason for not wanting to wait up to a later stage is the fact that we have a number of issues that we feel could duplicate the existing institutions functions. But I will go on to indicate that a number of the regional trading blocs have secretariats that will help in fast-tracking trade implementation procedures. On the trade attaches, I would want to point out that a number of our embassies abroad currently do not only do political work, but participate so much in trying to enhance trade promotion activities. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the whole, this is a noble idea. It is a welcome Motion. The interests of the traders is something we need to consider, irrespective of our political divide. However, the amendment will safeguard against duplication of functions by establishment of authorities which will more or less be a burden to this country in terms of finances due to strained resources. With those remarks, I beg to support."
