    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to oppose this further amendment to the amendment for a very good reason. Article 79 of the Constitution actually gives a command to Parliament, that the law we are making should ensure compliance, which means that it is not about punishment, but rather about providing a legal framework for state officers to behave well. If we go particularly to Article 76(2), we will see that it is not a prohibition. It is not saying that you cannot have an account. It says you will have an account but in accordance with an Act of Parliament. So, the best thing we will be doing, as Parliament, is to look at this carefully and have a legal framework for state officers to have bank accounts. This is for a very good reason, because if you go out there, carrying a wad of cash, nobody will accept that money. With those remarks, I beg to oppose."
