Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill. would have expired as per the initial law.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. Hon. Wamuchomba has proposed amendments to delete various clauses. I wonder why she is now proposing an amendment to collect money and give it to a certain board.
