Just to go on record, I want to trust the interpretation by Hon. Millie and Hon. Cecily Mbarire. I hope there is no mischief and our people will not suffer. I want to trust what they have said.

Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I did not intend to comment on this because I have not had a chance to read the Report. I hope I will not be considered to have spoken on this matter. I beg not to be considered to have spoken on this matter. It was just by mistake that my card was there.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have looked at the provisions contained in the Bill and to some extent, I agree with the Committee in deleting the specific sub-clause because as we stand now, the focus should be to strengthen our health services and not to contemplate entering into arrangements for specialised treatments in other countries. Secondly, knowing the history of this country and the poor management at the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), we feel that this could be an avenue for another corruption scandal. So, I totally agree and support the amendment by the Committee. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. History has come to haunt us and that is why we have proposed these amendments. In my reasonable understanding, quoted equities are as liquid as government securities and fixed deposit accounts are as liquid as government securities. Whereas this seems to be a laudable approach, there is danger lurking in it. I suggest that the Chairperson rethinks this proposed amendment so that as we remove property we can, probably, fix deposit guaranteed funds and leave equity and government securities for purposes of this particular section. Thank you.

I am supporting with amendments, if they will be allowed. If not, I am opposing.

Fair enough. I oppose the proposed amendment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. In as much as I can see the intention of our Hon. Colleague, if you look at the respective section in the main Act, it talks about any community-based organisation, non- governmental organisations, associations, umbrella organisations or any other institutions.
