    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I support the amendment. Saying that we are trying to integrate the boards is on a need basis. It will not just be done haphazardly, and I want the hon. Member to get to know that. Looking at the Mineral Rights Board, as clearly outlined by the Departmental Committee Chair, if you do a cost-benefit analysis, you will find that there is merit. Hon. Abdalla is in order and, therefore, we support this amendment, as opposed to what hon. Bowen has said. His opposition is due to ignorance – just because the Jubilee Government is integrating parastatals. These parastatals are being integrated because some of them have heavy overheads, and there is no merit for their existence. So, the Jubilee administration will continue creating other parastatals. We have seen that the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority is being created. It does not mean that we are just closing for the sake of it. The Departmental Committee Chair has justified the creation of the proposed Board. Indeed, it will add a lot of value. Therefore, the Board must be there. Hon. Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment."
