    "content": "I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 39 be further amended as follows- (a) Part III of the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 shall stand repealed within 90 days of the assent to this Act or upon the appointment of the Commission under this Act, whichever is early (b) The functions of the Commission under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act, 2003 pending the appointment of the Commission under this Act, shall be limited to safeguarding the integrity of the investigation files and exhibits or records and assets of the Commission for hand over to the incoming Commission. This means that they will not investigate or go on with their normal business. They will only be there as custodians and as soon as the new Commission is appointed, they will hand over. The reason is that if we do not do that, there may be cartels larking in the dark, waiting to destroy files when there is no Commission. You will recall that the Advisory Board has nothing to do with the day to day running of the Commission. The amendment by the Committee is only safeguarding the Advisory Board and yet this Board is not the custodian of the documents. We need to safeguard the Commission for handover of records and assets of the Commission."
