Are commas needed here?
Hi, everyone.
Could you tell me whether the clause in bold should be sett off with commas? And are there any other mistakes in the excerpt?
If the draft policy is finalised in its present form, it would drain all incentive from the power bureaucracy to improve its performance; in fact, it would give the latter the authority to hand over the bills it could not collect to the federal government for direct deduction at source, provided the provincial dispensations agree to the amount being billed.
Thanks
