    "content": "On the provisions in the Companies Act that seek to amendment the Act to keep a register of beneficial owners, again, as we have said in support of what the President said during his State of the Nation Address to this House, we must be seen to be supporting him in the fight against corruption by enacting legislation that seeks to the fight corruption so that we can move away from the vigilante justice and political narratives that we have seen in the past. This is one such legislation that will help ensure that stolen public assets that are being hidden in companies whose owners we do not know are exposed. Now you can walk to the Companies Registry and know who owns a company as much as they are not listed as shareholders and directors of the company. The particular provisions will go a long way in ensuring that we support the Government’s endeavours in the fight against corruption by doing what we should be doing in this House; legislating and not pushing political narratives out there."
