Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. It looks like Hon. Ababu has the answer because he belongs to that Committee. Just like Hon. Gumbo, I was wondering why there is no prescription of the penalty. Ordinarily, every piece of legislation is self-contained, particularly clauses similar to what we are dealing with. If you prescribe a penalty, you do not say “a penalty prescribed in this law.” There are many penalties that are prescribed in this law. It is not standard.
