Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to support this amendment but with a small rider that in future, through the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare, let the notice be very clear.

this House were born and has lived up to date. This is of good essence and I must congratulate the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, for thinking it wise to clean up this Bill, since it ceased its meaningfulness immediately after the PFM Act came into force in 2012.

I wish to use this chance to ask the Leader of the Majority Party to consider similar funds, if there are any or any organisations, preferably to bring us an omnibus Bill so that we clean up many of these funds which fill the balance sheet of the Government, yet they are not meaningful at all to the country.
