    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wanted to do both. I want to contribute. Let me contribute then within my contribution, I will say what is out of order. First, it is, indeed, good that people who bet give to charity. In any event, they are messing a lot. I noticed when I was going through this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2019 that the person who moved the proposed amendments to the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act (Cap.131), was mischievous. He was trying to encourage Members to feel that they are doing some societal good by enhancing sentences, but where it hurts, where it has to do with money, they were lowering the sentences. So, because of that, I support the Chairperson’s proposal. Having said that, maybe the concern, if you look at Hon. Wanga’s and the Chairperson’s amendments - that is something you can look at from a technical perspective - the Chairperson is talking about 36(1)(a) and (b), but Hon. Wanga is talking about 36, which has a proviso. So, what the Chairperson needs to advise is whether the proviso forms part of (b). If it does not form part of (b), then it would be better for us to move with Hon. Wanga’s proposal, which is more comprehensive."
