    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No. 45 (2) (b), I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of Committee on Finance, Commerce and Budget regarding Government plans to ban trade in second-hand clothes, popularly known as mitumba. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the measures put in place by the Government to cushion thousands of traders who depend solely on the business for their livelihood against the effects of the anticipated ban. (2) Explain how the Government plans to provide alternative clothing for the larger population that depends on second-hand clothes for their clothing and textile needs. (3) Explain how the move will benefit the local textile industry, given the poor state of our textile factories and cotton farmers."
