This Act should only apply to employed beneficiaries. We all have a right to information. A Senator wrote to HELB and did not get any reply three or four months later. You can imagine what the loanees undergo. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move and ask Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve to second my Motion."}
