Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it is not a new amendment. This is what was deliberated and approved by the Committee. There was a mix-up in the Secretariat when they were preparing these amendments. In fact, we had a discussion with our Senior Principal Clerk and the Legal Counsel to the Committee. They explained to me that what was in the record of the Committee is what I am presenting here. What was printed in the Order Paper was a typographical error.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, our Legal Counsel is in the House. Can I confirm the correct position?

26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
I will be lost to think that I would be given amendments which have typographical errors and which have not been approved by the Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, it appears as if we had a slight mix- up in the secretariat. In fact, the point Hon. Kaluma is making as to the level of magistrate was actually canvassed within the sessions of the Committee. I recall clearly that we had said it would be a Senior Principal Magistrate. For clarity and for the sake of making progress, we seek to withdraw this amendment and we will move it at a later date.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, can I just ask if Hon. Kaluma is satisfied with amending it on the Floor to Senior Principal Magistrate---

26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. We were suggesting in the Committee that this amendment be withdrawn and an amendment should be proposed to paragraph (c) by deleting the words in brackets: “whether or not one was served on any other person.” The words are not necessary. I do not know if you have this one.

Yes, we are proposing a deletion. We delete the words in brackets which read: “whether or not one was served on any other person.”

I know, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman.

Again, for clarity and to make progress, I withdraw that one as well and we will recommit it at a later date.

26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly:
I have that Order Paper but I want the secretariat to take note so that they can follow the requisite procedure. This is because it appears that the procedure was not followed, particularly on the new amendments.
