• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am a Member of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. I want to attest that, indeed, the Committee did what it could to ensure as much public participation as possible. One or two public bodies having not come to the Committee cannot stop legislation from going on. If you listened to the submissions by the hon. Members, they said that these amendments have come during the Third Reading of the Bill. We have just disposed of another Bill, which had amendments during the Third Reading. It seems like it is the feeling of most ... view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I have a further amendment. I seek to further amend section (3B). The amendment by hon. Millie was good but so as to prevent a situation where the insurer delays unduly the payment of the claim, I would like to amend (3B) by inserting the words “provided that such verification is done within a month after the word “insurer”. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: The insurer must finish verification within one month so that someone does not stay long saying that they are still verifying and they do so for years and yet the claimant is suffering. That is my proposed amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Provided that such verification be done within a month. It can be a month of the claim or a month of the judgment. view

• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: I propose that we delete the word “maximum” so that it remains as “percentage”. Then delete the word “inclusive of” and replace it with “shall include but not limited to medical expenses on the judgment or claim”. That is the proposed amendment. Therefore, it will read as follows: “The percentage of the sum specified in section 5(b) and prescribed in the Schedule under this Act shall include but not limited to the medical expenses on the judgment or claim.” That is my proposed amendment. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, just give me a minute to explain my amendment. The bone of contention is--- view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, there is a misunderstanding on it. We are doing what everybody wants. There is a limit in 5(d), which we want to deal with. The first thing that I have with the amendment is to remove the word “maximum” so that it just talks about a percentage. We are not limiting it to include medical expenses on the claim. So, whatever percentage it is, when we go to 5(d), we will deal with it. We will remove it. view
