    "content": "THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after clause 71— Amendment of 72. Section 20 of the Limitation of Actions Act is amended in subsection section 20 of Cap.22. (2) by deleting the expression “six years” and substituting therefor the expression “twenty years”. The amendment is on page 1096 of the Order Paper. Currently, if there are any actions to be made on property, then someone dies and leaves two-years old, if the two-year old must take some action on property bestowed to them, they will not be able to, upon attaining maturity age to take action because it is limited to six years. This is because it lapses at eight years. When they get their identity card at 18 years, and there is an issue touching on taxes on their property, they are told it lapsed. During public participation this issue came up strongly and we proposed to amend it from six years to 20 years to allow minors to take action on property."
