    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on the proposed amendments to the Crops Act, I do not know why the Executive keeps on raiding the authority of Parliament. Whenever there is a requirement that Parliament approves, for example, the Director-General of this Authority, the proposed amendment seeks to remove the power of Parliament and vest it in the Cabinet Secretary. Why should we permit that? Are you saying that the Parliament that passed that law made a mistake? I tell my colleagues that we can change the commas and full stops; we can change the grammatical errors or correct them but when it comes to the substantive proposals, please, be very careful so that we remove the offending proposals at the Committee level. I support the Bill to move those amendments."
