    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support the amendments by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. On the sub-clause (1) we are bringing clarity to the law by removing unnecessary words which the Committee did not find were adding value to the text of the clause, and allowing judicial review to be done by the court without pursuing any other clauses that have been referred to in the Bill. On the second part, I want to support the addition of monetary compensation. Sometimes Governmental actions that infringe on your right require compensation that is monetary. It is important we enable our courts to go into assessment, quantum and to make sure that where a loss is monetary, monetary compensation is given in addition to the declaratory orders that the judges can make. The National Assembly today is on the right track by making monetary compensation part of the awards and orders that judges can give in judicial review proceedings. Thank you."
