Thank you for this opportunity, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also take this opportunity to thank my brother Mhe. Neto for moving this Bill. In fact, it is a wakeup call.

I am a Member of the Committee on Implementation and I can see my Chairlady is not here. As a Member of the Committee on Implementation, we want to fast-track this and come up with a Report on why the Public Benefit Organisations Act has not been operationalised almost three years down the line. It is one of the weaknesses we have in this country. We have an Executive picking on people who do not know the effect and the pains of sitting here to debate some things. This Bill was taken very seriously when we passed it almost three ...

The CSs should be appointed among politicians. Picking these people from the streets is a burden to this country. If you look at the list of CSs who have been politicians, you will find that they are performing very well. Some of these people who were picked from the banks, NGOs and elsewhere are not performing. As I support this Motion, I ask the next Government which we are looking forward to form as CORD to get people who are politicians into the Cabinet. They may be from this House because they will take some of these things seriously. As ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, the clause was ambiguous. This was just to clean up the text. Given that there is a lot of corruption in this country, it is better to have the whole thing levelled out so that we do not have variations. I support the amendment by the Committee.
