Thank you. I was not going to raise the point of order because I was principally agreeing with the Mover. However, there is an issue that the Leader of the Majority Party has raised in passing and, perhaps, which you need to address yourself to. I know that we always go guillotine when we do budget, but I stand guided. I do not know whether it is a proper procedure to guillotine when you are doing a substantive law like this one. Maybe, it is something you can guide us.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wish to urge the Chair of the Committee that, as he moves according to your guidance that we go section by section, he should get his mind off the mentality that he had. That is because we are looking at the amendment substantively. All he needs to do is to convince us or not to convince us. Alternatively, if his amendment does not make sense like this one, then he drops it so that we move quickly. Where you have a case where the Bill is mentioning “local authority” and we know we do not ...

I am sorry Chair. I am sorry I am speaking a lot, but I know as you know because this section has to do with procedure, sometimes it is a bit tricky. So, even for me as a seasoned lawyer, sometimes, I might get it wrong and so, I stand guided when I do. The main Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill has been moved by Hon. Duale. So, if there was no amendment, the Question that should have been put is to the amendment by Hon. Duale. But if there is a proposed amendment by another Member or a Committee, ...

Hon. T.J. is raising a very fundamental issue that we should not respond to now. Maybe, we need a substantive ruling on it because it will keep recurring, which is the issue of whether a committee chair can withdraw an amendment. In this instance, if he withdraws all his amendments, it is beneficial to me. But is that procedural? I request that instead of us dealing with it now, let there be a substantive ruling on whether a chair of a committee can withdraw amendments on behalf of a committee. This one is not contentious, but what about when we ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I wanted to do both. I want to contribute. Let me contribute then within my contribution, I will say what is out of order. First, it is, indeed, good that people who bet give to charity. In any event, they are messing a lot. I noticed when I was going through this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.21 of 2019 that the person who moved the proposed amendments to the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming Act (Cap.131), was mischievous. He was trying to encourage Members to feel that they are doing some societal good ...
