As I support this Bill, I see it needs a framework which will look at the length of service. Also in a way we recognise that Members of Parliament who serve do not necessary volunteer to stop the service they were engaging in. But it is because of the decision of the voters after having a committed submission not to elect them again. I would like to emphasis that I agree with the Members who have submitted before that former Members of Parliament end up living in abject poverty and experience difficult circumstances.

people or organisation that would like to manage effectively their business would realise that ideas alone without data and figures would not make a very big difference. Looking at the Bill, I want to thank the committee and indicate that there has been very critical thinking and useful information. Not only are we saying we would like to have a data protection commissioner, because we would like to have an office where the work would be handled from, but also we are coming up with regulations that would manage from the point of view of those who are involved in ...

Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask Question No.377/2019 to the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection: (i) What is the status of implementation of the Counter-Trafficking in Persons Act and the National Plan of Action for Combating Human Trafficking with regard to establishment of a functional independent unit to assist in resolving and dealing with human trafficking in the country?
