Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would wish that the Assistant Minister tells this House, since this is a drought period, how many districts in the Republic are under this programme. What informs the amount of rations given to each district?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. We all know the circumstances under which this Commission started their work. There was a lot of acrimony; also initially funds from the Treasury were not coming by quickly. So, we all know that they actually started their operations almost one year late.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can just mention one or two areas where they still need to do a lot.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will give chance to my colleagues. This Bill sets out a mechanism on how these unclaimed funds will be claimed by the owners themselves. The Bill also proposes an authority that is going to oversee those unclaimed funds.

The issue of establishing the authority and trust funds, those are issues to be aligned. I am sure with some little amendments here and there; we will ensure that we have a Bill that will give a proper procedure on how these unclaimed assets will be reunited back to their true owners.
