    "content": "Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 23. We raised this at the Committee; that the Joint Select Committee amended the election offences in their entirety. To that extent, therefore, there are no offences in the new Election Act. By accident, inadvertently, by mistake or deliberately, the National Assembly passed an amendment of Section 56 of the Elections Act that does not exist. As a consequence, when you have amendment No.37 of 2017, by the time the President signs this in to law he has no way of removing it. It will have to appear in the Act and therefore, will present a conflict. I had proposed in the spirit of bipartisanship that you remove it. It has no value, it deletes nothing and is in the law when it is not supposed to be there. However, when you sign it into law you create a conflict of having passed something that does not exist and this is something we should have done to clean up the law but nobody agreed with me. I propose."
