    "content": "Clause 22 of this Bill talks about application for registration being made to the board. Clause 30 talks about the financial year of the board. Even the drafters of this Bill did not know what they were talking about. It is completely confusing. Clause 21 which talks about conditions and qualifications is where you are supposed to find out who this guy is. It is not even said who he is. I strongly oppose this Bill. It needs to be taken back to the drafters so that they can tell us who this Bill belongs to so that we can pass it. Further, Clause 29(a) talks about drawing money from the Exchequer. We know that the Government is struggling to raise money and here we are introducing a Bill of a professional who is not known in the construction industry and who will start drawing money from the Exchequer when the Government is busy reducing our salaries. The money going into this Bill should go into increasing our salaries. It is a wasted effort. If you go to the Statement of the Bill at the end of it, it is very clear that the enactment of this Bill shall occasion additional expenditure of public funds to be provided through the estimates and yet we do not know who this guy is. I strongly oppose this Bill and propose that it be taken back to the drafters to draft it properly and tell us what the qualifications of those people are."
