    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wanted to clarify that once we pass that law and say that we could allow manual voting in the country, in my opinion, we passed a bad law and we are just about to pass another one, if this House agrees, the Privatisation (Amendment) Bill. Through the law on elections we allowed theft of votes. In conclusion, this law is not good because it removes the role of Parliament and leaves the matter of privatisation purely on the Executive. That is dangerous for the country. It means we have the Executive in charge of the country and it removes our role of oversight to the Government. Therefore, with due respect to the Leader of the Majority Party who has brought this Bill, this is a bad law and I oppose it. Thank you for giving me the opportunity."
