"content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I just wanted to clarify - because this is an amendment that came from the Committee â the rationale; why we had proposed an amendment to 7(3) (a) because it is an amendment to 7(3) (a) in the original Bill. You will notice that 7(3) (a) was very specific to Members of Parliament and we thought it was limiting and targeting a particular class of state officers. So we wanted to widen that to cover all other state officers. After discussing this with the Minister, we thought that there was no necessity to remove members serving on commissions and independent officers. We thought that it would serve the intended purpose if we just stayed with the term âstate officerâ which would cover both Members of Parliament and other state officers and we are in agreement."
