Koinange, who has requested me to come and stand in for him because he is held up somewhere. I am a Member of that Committee. If you look at these miscellaneous amendments, you will find that the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security has three areas which we considered. The first one is the District and Provinces Act of 1992. The second one is the Alcoholic Drinks Control Act, 2010 and the third one which falls under our Committee is the Prevention of Terrorism Act. The Committee has taken time to consider these amendments. We have also invited comments from stakeholders. In some areas, as a Committee, we got comments specific to these Acts and in some areas we did not have any issues and so no comments were presented to the Committee.

So what the CS will be expected to do is just The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
