    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I can see there is confusion. We want harmony. We operate through traditions. We have our rules on the way we operate. If a chairman of a Committee that is supposed to do certain work requests for additional time, it is only fair to give that Committee time so that they look at it. A Committee is better than one or two people. You cannot be pushed to do something that I would not say unconstitutional, but a shortcut. It will save our country. This Bill introduces some very stiff penalties and fines which run into millions. It will render some of those businesses unprofitable. They will close down. I am a free entrepreneur. I like doing business and the best thing is to regulate but regulate in a manner whereby you pass through a committee which is the proper channel. Though Members are allowed to bring Bills, it is wiser when we collectively as the National Assembly coalesce around a Committee’s Report. The Committee can reject it or recommend some changes. Members of Parliament will have time to change that but I appeal to the members; please let us not rush. That The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
