Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. I rise to support this amendment and extend my salutations to Hon. Oundo. If we limit this provision to the public sector, it means a whole spectrum of people who have investments out of that space are affected. For me,...

Hon. Irene Mayaka (Nominated, ODM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. If there is any amendment that is powerful in this Bill, it is this particular amendment. The Temporary Chairman (Hon.

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Chairman.

Hon. Chairman, I have been pressing the intervention button trying to catch your attention.

Apologies for that. I also have a question. Looking at the Third Schedule on the Votes and the summary of what it contains, from Vote 1091 through to 1093, we do not have any information presented. Maybe, that is the concern most Members have because we are not able to...
