Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if we were to carry the amendment that is in the Bill, it would put the insurance sector in serious chaos. What this clause says is that anybody who lodges a claim against an insurance company, regardless of whether you have submitted all the required documents or not, will have to be paid within 90 days. So, we agreed to leave out the proposal contained in the Bill and go back to the original position, which is that you will be paid 90 days after submission of the relevant documents. So, we are going back to ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this proposal seeks to introduce a new Section 3AA to the principal Act, which seeks to give powers to the proposed Insurance Regulatory Authority, so that if there is a request for it to give information to any regulatory body like the Criminal Investigations Department or any other body, it can assist that body. So, the amendment is seeking to give the Authority power to share information whenever necessary.

Really, ask that we delete all the words after “person’s term” starting from “or” up to “whichever is sooner”. That way we will give him time to complete his contract. I know he is an old man and we do not ...
