Hon. Nooru What we intend to achieve on this one is just to add the word “consultancy” which was lacking in the original Bill. (Question of the amendment proposed) The Temporary Deputy Chairman (Hon. Cheboi) : Now, Hon. Shabbir, you want to speak to that one. Let us have you.

Hon. Nooru Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, with regard to some of these amendments by Hon. Millie, as a Committee, we have harmonised them. We quite agree with her. Maybe we can take them on her behalf. This is proposed in our amendments. It is the same proposal in her amendments....
