    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this Bill being proposed by my colleague, the Minister for Finance. The only thing I would like to say is that this is a very timely amendment given, as the Minister said, I remember I was a member of the Opposition when I proposed the Presidential Retirement Benefits Bill. I was really thrashed by the media, the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO) and everybody else that it was extravagant and it should not be done. Eventually, the Attorney-General took over my Bill and it was passed in this House in the late 1990s. The Presidential Benefits Act or law really helped in ensuring that the transition from the previous presidency to the post multiparty politics presidency in 2002 went pretty smooth. The amendments we are doing"
