    "content": "I beg to move:- THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended in proposed new subsection (7)- (a) by inserting the words “is a government to government loan and” immediately after the word “loan” appearing in paragraph (c). As I said earlier on, if we allow this direct payment of loans, there could be issues of accountability; my Committee discussed at length how to cure this apparent defect. When we engaged the Treasury and other stakeholders, we agreed that in many of the cases where government to government loans arise, they usually pay the contractors as they supply the services. We said, let us restrict these direct payments only to government to government loans. If there is another arrangement, maybe between the Government and the private sector, then all the money must go to the Consolidated Fund The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
