Thank you, hon. Chairlady. I also want to support this amendment. My interest is more in the area of where the victim is protected from bribery. We have seen situations where victims are bribed and, at the end of the day, we do not realise justice because they will just have been given some small amount of money. I do not know how that will be done, but it is a good proposal that they be protected from bribery. I support.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the amendment, and more so the situation where information is provided to the victims, because information is power. My only concern would be the issue of “unreasonable delay”. We are using these words unreasonably. There should either be delay or otherwise. Maybe, the Chair could help those of us who are not lawyers. When you say “unreasonably not long”, what do you mean?

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support this amendment because it is important that the capital gains tax is re-introduced.

It is important that this tax is re-introduced, so that those who engage in speculative practices can pay and contribute to the development of this country.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I wanted to contribute on the earlier matter. Therefore, about this one, I am just annoyed beyond control. Let me keep quiet.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, what I was saying is that I need your guidance on this matter because, based on Clause 3 and the earlier decision, we have dropped a number of other amendments in Clause 12 and other clauses. We dropped those amendments based on Clause 3. So, even as we debate this clause, we need to bear in mind that we have already dropped other amendments based on the decision on that clause. Can you guide us on how we can move forward? Do we re-open all the other clauses?
