"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have a problem with that amendment because it is of a money nature. It falls within Article 114 of the Constitution. This is because it will result in an expenditure by the Exchequer. If the Bill is passed and tomorrow the Attorney-General says the police reservists who have been serving for seven years have no job, then the Government has to pay gratuity. Secondly, if the police reservists are performing very well, why peg their service to five years? In the end, we will have many people in this country with guns, which can cause chaos. I want to ask the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, as his party leader, to withdraw that amendment. 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."
