00:29 take the lead in reviewing the economic provisions of the Constitution.
00:33 The Senate review on CHACHA will be in the context of the Public Service Act, which was
00:38 amended to allow foreign ownership in certain public services.
00:42 On Monday, January 15, Migzubiri files a resolution proposing amendments to certain economic provisions
