We went through forest by forest and found that a number of them had been repeated in the Schedule. So, the Third Schedule says the Bill should be amended by deleting the items indicated.

I alert Members because I know they will be more concerned about this ... view

• 24 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a Bill that was discussed both in this House and the Senate. All the provisions of this Bill were, in overall, agreed to, except the one which the Senate did not approve.
