    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I apologise that even though we have similar amendments, I would love to speak to them because the bulk of the amendments were originally mine. So, I am very passionate on these issues. In response to what Hon. Kaluma has said, we did consider. Originally, we had the Ministry of Defence but because of how heavy the body was in terms of national Government representation, we decided to drop that Ministry. A theme that runs throughout the entire amendment is that the original Bill was not devolution-friendly. That is why we decided to include a person nominated by the Council of Governors. We have also included a representative of fishers nominated by a national umbrella body of fishers. This is to basically respond to the issue raised by Hon. Kaluma earlier – that it was not very strong on traditional fishing areas. So, we have strengthened the traditional fisheries."
