MR RICHARD
Thank you Chairperson, I won't go back into the Section 29 argument, I think that most points about it have been ventilated.   When, taking instructions from victims, as defined in the Act in regard to an application, my first question is "do you believe that this person should be granted or in this case, that group of people should be granted amnesty or not" and I explain the consequences of amnesty.  In this situation, the instructions and that is what I am here to implement is that they should not be granted amnesty.  Then to be more technical, one looks and explains what Section 20(3) provides.  That Section sets out what must be established before a Committee shall give amnesty.  My instructions in that regard are to contest the various aspects provided for in (2) and (3) and 1 of Section 20.  If I were to be technical, I would have said all matters are in dispute and nothing is admitted.
