    "content": "The Bill also intends to vet investors. As we speak, every investor can come here with some little money and end up doing some shoddy job. They end up selling groundnuts in Umoja and doing all manner of jobs, including participating in criminal activities like the 77 Chinese citizens found at Runda. We want to deal with this situation. On the issue of refugees, we want refugees and asylum seekers to report their presence on arrival as opposed to the current 30 days grace period. So, all asylum seekers must report immediately and they should not be allowed to hang around for 30 days before they are registered. We want to also recommend that all asylum seekers should be placed in some designated areas and should not be in all places. On the issue of the threshold, or the number of refugees that this country should have, we have reduced the number from whatever we have currently, which is over 600,000 refugees. However, in tandem with international standards we want to have a maximum of 150,000 refugees. The National Assembly can vary the number when it deems it fit. The recommended number, according to international standards, is 150,000 refugees. We have come up with amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code. Here, we are trying to reintroduce provisions for police supervision for persons convicted of some offences, including serious offences of terrorism and sexual crimes. We have recommended that anybody involved in stripping members of the female gender will be liable to imprisonment for 20 years. However, we have not been very keen on the male gender. On the Evidence Act, we have amended the law to allow admission of digital photographs. We have also ensured that evidence is not excluded on the basis of 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."
