"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I sit down, I would like to say that, as a Committee, we have been involved in the making of this Bill and when it was to be brought to Parliament, we held a workshop on Thursday and Friday in order to go through it and pick some flaws in it. This Bill was committed to us on Tuesday when we opened Parliament. For that reason, we did not have time to prepare a report to guide the Members of Parliament on this. This is in the process; the report will be tabled in this House on Tuesday and it will guide the hon. Members so that the required amendments can be moved when we go into the Committee of the Whole House. Further, public participation is key to the new dispensation, and in this regard--- The Bill was committed to us on Tuesday; we did not have time to have stakeholders consultations, but we have arranged for tomorrow and Saturday to have stakeholders consultations, so that their input can be in our report which will be tabled here on Tuesday."
