After the word “prescribe” say “but in any event the Commission shall determine if such spending was justifiable”.

• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Who makes this decision that something is justified? Where is the authority that makes the decision? view
• 28 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The reason I ask is because I am careful not to allow an amendment which goes to the root or which interferes with the primary intention of her amendment. view
