    "content": "If we are not very careful, we will find that issues that may not conform to what the majority would go for may be passed. So, I call upon the Members who are here to further scrutinise these Bills. Let us be vigilant during the Third Reading so that we make laws that will serve this country and not benefit only few persons. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there must be a follow up on the privatised entities. This is because sometimes people just want to propose an entity to be privatised so that they can appoint certain people and not necessarily for providing services. They do that for other selfish reasons. So, if any Government entity has to be privatised, it must go through the process of public participation so that it is the public that will decide that, indeed, it should be privatised. Otherwise, I am in support of this Bill, I will be proposing some amendments particularly on the fact that the nominees must come to this House during the Third Reading. That is to give us that opportunity to provide our oversight role. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
