• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I think I missed some point because the amendment is deleting. That means the PS will not be. It is not clear. view
• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the amendment. I want to seek some clarification. If you get to 30 years and what was supposed to be recovered has not been fully recovered, is there a provision in the Bill that deals with that kind of eventuality?

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support that the amendment is good. It has no harm. I am just wondering about the numbering. Why are we numbering it as (ja) instead of just numbering it as paragraph (k) at the end? view

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: I have a little concern with (b).

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I also agree with the principle as Hon. Oundo has said. There are issues that will relate to the Government itself and its processes. What about if there are issues that are actually beyond the people involved, which normally would go under force majeure or something unpreventable?

• 30 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: There are three things that I have observed where I see inconsistencies. When we started with the procurement, we excluded private entities from the public procurement laws on that account. When we came to Clause 76, we excluded them from public audit.
