    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my Chairman, Sen. Madzayo, in urging the Chair to see the importance of this Bill and the enormous amount of work and consultation with every imaginable stakeholder and interest groups. Hearing that it is being stood down after about two years of extensive work, I urge the Chair to allow this Bill to go for the First Reading so that whatever other interests are concerned, they should come in a procedural way. The Constitution has allowed that any of these views and interest groups are heard during public hearings or petitions as presented. Whatever reasons there are, the House, through the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare will look at them. The House has no obligation to accept the Bill, but it should be given the opportunity to follow procedures and the Bill to go through the First Reading which is purely procedural. The rest of the stages will follow in the normal manner. I urge you to allow the First Reading to take place and issues from other interest groups to be brought during appropriate sessions of public hearings of the Bill."
