The reason I am emphasising on the matter of a report from the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, as emphasised in Article 118 on public participation, is to look at such issues. Unfortunately, we are debating this when we have no report. As we move forward on this matter, the intention is good, but it can be abused. Funds come into the country and if there is no proper framework, they end up enabling unlawful things. We have been having issues of youth radicalisation in this country.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is a House of debate. How I wish you would give me more time because I have been interrupted. I have not even finished my debate.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second this Motion that the House extends the period for the listed business by the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries. This is because some of the field visits that had been organised were interrupted by the Coronavirus pandemic.

This is because it pertains to the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill and Papers. Is it taken care of under the Papers or do we amend and say Communication?
