    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank all Members who have supported this Bill. As I reply, it is important to note the fears Members have raised. For instance, there was the issue of entrepreneurship whereby some directors might be informal and have not gone to school. This regulation will not affect them. The regulation was implying that this institute will have a board. The board of that institute needs to be regulated. Entrepreneurs who start their businesses are not regulated. That regulation does not refer to somebody who has started a business such as Chepalungu Dairy Farms. It does not regulate that. This Bill is looking at issues of corporate governance. This forum will bring the directors together in terms of networking, learning the best practices and refresher courses. All the issues that Members have raised will be addressed when it comes to the Committee of the whole House. I looked at the Report of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and I am in agreement with whatever was raised in it. Once we go to the Committee of the whole House, we will amend in terms of consistency. There will not be any issues that will contradict the already existing laws. With those few remarks, I thank Hon. Members. I beg to reply. 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."
