    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause immediately after Clause 11— (2) All payments of contracts due shall be made according to the sequence of date of completion.” I propose this amendment because of practices in Government offices. Those in charge of payments normally pay their friends and leave out other contractors. This amendment provides that the date someone is issued with a completion certificate matters; that one is paid based on the date of completion of a contract. If one completes a contract first, he or she will be the first to be paid so that people in Government offices do not pay selectively. Currently, what happens is that they only pay their friends and others are left out to frustrate them so that they do not apply for the tenders. To take care of that, the sequence of dates provides that first come, first serve."
