Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I beg to second. As it has been mentioned by the Leader of the Majority Party, the Senate amendments are not fundamentally altering what the National Assembly had considered. In some instances, the Senate brought in details that have made the Bill better. As a Committee, we did not see the need to disagree or go to mediation. We did not agree with some things but they were not fundamental in nature to necessitate mediation. With those few remarks, I beg to second.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 33 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (3) by inserting the words “within twenty-one days of receipt of the evaluation report” immediately after the words“the Committee shall”. The Senate is just adding a timeline within which the Evaluation Report should be produced. So, if you bring your proposal for a Public Private Partnership (PPP), it should be considered within 21 days. We had not done this earlier and I think it is useful additional information. I beg to move.

Essentially, the Senate is introducing this Appeals Committee. Therefore, if the PPP Projects Committee does not approve your project or you feel aggrieved then, you have a place where you can complain. They are also setting out that the CS shall designate a public officer to serve as the Secretary to the Committee. The person shall be an Advocate of the High Court with at least seven years standing. The remuneration shall be determined by the Salaries and Remunerations Commission (SRC). Are we doing 75A only and then 75B, that is one at a time?
