Debate on state assets bill postponed due to large number of speakers – Harmon

The expected debate of the contentious bill to legally set up a State Assets Recovery Agency was deferred at Thursday’s sitting of the National Assembly due to the sheer number of parliamentarians who were slated to speak, Minister of State Joseph Harmon said yesterday.

Harmon had previously told reporters several weeks ago that the debate of the State Assets Recovery Bill 2017 would go ahead despite concerns voiced by the Private Sector Commission (PSC) about its contents and their implication.
