    "content": "I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As you have correctly mentioned, there are a number of Members who have proposed amendments. The ones I have taken note of are Hon. Gumbo, Hon. Nassir and other Members. I would request if it is possible to have bilateral or multilateral arrangements so that we can consolidate the amendments. We have discussed with the Leader of the Majority Party and we are hoping that next week on Tuesday, if possible, we can move the Bill to the Third Reading so that we conclude with it. As a very able Member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know that we reviewed the first version of this Bill and came up with 900 amendments. That is why it was withdrawn. That is why we have few amendments. There are some which were missed out. As a Committee we have close to 20 amendments. If we take on board those from other Members, I suspect we could have about 50 amendments. We would have reduced the amendments significantly. So, I can have bilateral or multilateral arrangements with the Members so that we can fast-track this Bill."
