Hon. Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new clause after Clause 4— Amendment of 4A. Section 6A of the Elections Act, 2011 is amended in section 6A of No. 24 of 2011. subsection (1) by deleting the word “ninety” and substituting therefor the word “sixty.” We are seeking to amend by reducing the timelines. There were some problems with regard to timelines with procurement. So, we want to reduce the timelines within which the verification will be done from 90 to 60 days.

Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. Why I rise on a point of order is that you need to give us direction. This is my Bill. If a matter was not recommitted, it cannot be part of re-committal here.
