    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 40 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting the words “the prescribed manner” appearing immediately after the words “Service in” and substituting therefor the word “writing”; (b) in sub-clause (3) by deleting the words “the prescribed procedures” appearing immediately after the words “accordance with” and substituting therefor the words “this Act”; (c) by deleting sub-clause (4). I would just like to point out that Hon. Aghostino Neto is a Member of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. Most of his amendments should have been processed during the Committee proceedings. Clause 40 proposes some amendments, some in sub-clause (a) deleting the words “the prescribed manner” and one in sub-clause (3) by deleting the prescribed procedures and in sub- clause (4) as well. The justification by the Committee is to provide for an application for legal aid to be done in writing and to remove penal consequences for submission of an inaccurate application. The legal aid persons would already have too many obligations around their lives. The Committee is of the view that putting penal consequences for submission of inaccurate application would be too much for the lower ones. We, therefore, propose the deletions to allow for applications in writing and to remove the penal consequences in Clause 40. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson."
