Onyancha","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":126,"legal_name":"Charles Onyancha","slug":"charles-onyancha"},"content":"Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Bill with a few comments. First one is on Clause 6(1)(a), I believe the way it has been set out is the right one. It says, “or an equivalent” but I would have said, “or a professional qualification”, without the word “equivalent”. Certain people pursue a course in accountancy as all accountants might know, without necessarily going through the university for a first degree like members of the Institute of Certified Accounts of England and Wales and others. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, on Clause 21, I would have thought there would be a period of maybe three months which would be provided as the necessity to provide the annual estimates before the year ends. Lastly, on the Second Schedule (iv) it says:- “No member or staff of the Commission shall transact any business or trade with the Commission”. I thought we could include in this clause the words, “or a spouse or an organization that is related or owned by a member of the Commission”. With those few remarks, I beg to move."}
