    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I was the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs when we introduced the Public Officer Ethics Act in 2003 and there was a lot of debate. The matters covered by the proposed amendment; declaration of income, assets and liabilities is adequately covered in the Public Officer Ethics Act. As we are speaking now, Members of Parliament are required to be filling forms with the Speaker after every two years. The intention of this is to show how much you earned when you came to Parliament and what you now have. It would be possible when issues arise to get the declaration forms opened so that they can see whether you have unduly enriched yourself. We do not need this amendment because it is adequately covered in the Public Officer Ethics Act."
