    "content": "Hon. Speaker, this Act will collapse more than 60 parastatals into less than three authorities within the sector. Therefore, as a Committee, we have gone through this Act. We have interrogated the Cabinet Secretary, and they have humbly requested that we give them at least six months, so that they can also appreciate the magnitude of the particular Act. Even as a Committee, quite a number of the Members are relatively new. We have less than three hon. Members who were in the previous Committee. So, the Members of the Committee also need to ensure that they are able to capture the spirit of this new Act. There are several challenges which have been foreseen during the implementation of this Act. That is why we humbly request this House to give us and the Ministry time to ensure that there is a smooth transition from the current parastatals to the new parastatals. We also need to have serious audit of all the assets and liabilities of the over 60 parastatals. So, in order to ensure that there is no anarchy and that this sector does not collapse, we are seeking the support of this House to ensure that this Act goes through. With those few remarks, I beg to second the Motion."
