    "content": "The proposed amendment seeks to do away with a committee that is called the Public Private Partnership (PPP) Committee. This Committee consists of various Principal Secretaries (PSs). My concern with removing that Committee is who will be left, unless the Mover can advise? The Cabinet Secretary is the only one who will be left, without that Committee. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, putting so much power in the hands of one person is very bad governance practice. This is because power in the hands of one person is always subject to abuse. Unless the Leader of the Majority Party will show us a compensatory body that ensures accountability by the CS, I am very concerned. I have seen a growing tendency by Cabinet Secretaries to bring amendments that give them power and authority without committees or boards. Again, I stand guided. We should be shown a body that takes over the role of this Committee. However, without that compensatory body, I am very concerned that it is setting a very bad governance practice."
