    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, as alluded to by my colleague, Dr. Eseli, we have put a lot of time into having meetings with the stakeholders to ensure that we come up with amendments that are adding value to the Bill. We have done this until this afternoon. So, I have taken great exception on the male bashing by the speakers earlier. The Committee of Health is composed of male Members only. Indeed, we have done our part and we are looking forward to having this Bill become law to protect the interest of all of us as a nation. It will not be right, therefore, for Members here to take it as their duty to apportion responsibility as to who is doing better than the other. It is about Parliament and not about any gender. Indeed, we have done our bit, but matters of procedure are matters of procedure. It is not about what we have done and what we have not done. As a Committee, we concluded looking at the amendments that we intend to bring to this House, which were completed and handed over to the Clerk’s Department. If procedures require that we have two, ten or 24 hours, those are procedures. So, there should be no mix up between procedures and what the Committee of Health has not been able to do."
