"content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I thank the Members. The Senate passed two amendments to this Bill as explained by the Committee Chair. The first amendment was an insertion of a new clause to prescribe the applicable Parliamentary procedure for ratification of agreements relating to transactions covered under the Bill. New Clause 9A proposes that the process commences in the National Assembly and then moves to the Senate for consideration. In a situation where the National Assembly fails to forward its resolutions to the Senate after the expiry of 60 days, then, sub-clauses 5 and 6 of the amendment of the Senate empower the Senate to commence its consideration of the agreement in question. The National Assembly Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources has rejected that amendment. They have given very valid reasons. The justification is very good because they found out that this will create conflicting timelines for consideration of agreements under the Bill by the both Houses. The Committee has no problem with Clause 10. Now that Hon. Amina is in, I beg to reply."
