Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. This is my Bill of 2022. What the President is talking about, the Digital Health Act, is for 2024 or even 2025. We passed this Bill on 15th April 2024. So, I do not see the rationale for deleting...

Hon. Rahim Dawood (North Imenti, Independent) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I disagree with Hon.Tandaza.
