"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. This is a very important amendment by the Committee. If you look at the Bill as it was before, you will find that the Basin Resources Committee was going to be given powers that they have no capacity to exercise. In the amendment, the Committee has decided to give them an advisory role. This is the only role they can effectively carry out. This will also be devoid of activism. There are instances where we have committees of this nature becoming unnecessary impediments to water provision and services development in an area. Their role and functions will be merely to advise the authorities who are then supposed to execute those issues. Thank you."
