    "content": "When we were doing the Proceeds of Crime and Anti- Money Laundering Act of 2009, when we were moving the amendment and we were creating a provision for asset recovery agency through the Attorney-General’s advice, we realised that the mandate of asset recovery was with the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). This Commission derives its mandate from Chapter Six of the Constitution. However, the provision of Section 51(1)(a) of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act in effect implied that the Commission cannot institute cases for recovery of proceeds of crime or benefits. As we speak, if this amendment is not moved, all the cases filed in court by the Commission and its collaborative efforts with other countries will be rendered nugatory. This amendment just wants to bring back the six to ensure that the Commission continues to discharge The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
