Boroffice, in his presentation, said the Conference Committee met and
deliberated on the two versions of the bill as passed by the two

“As part of the process of further engagement with the stakeholders,
new facts and positions emerged and these have been fully articulated
and incorporated in the version of the House of Representatives”, the
