    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I just want to highlight a few things. I do not want to talk to the details of the Bill because I do not think I have enough time to prosecute the entire Bill. I am looking at Clause 5. I am sure the Committee has looked at it. If I missed the submissions of the Mover of the Bill and the Seconder, I will be forgiven but, again, it is something I have observed. So, I have to say it. I feel that Clause 5 (8) is actually unconstitutional. This is because it says if one or both Houses of Parliament fail to pass the Bill, then it goes ahead yet we are talking about a Bill which comes through Article 257 of the Constitution, which talks about a popular initiative. The clause says: “The Bill shall lapse if it does not relate to a matter specified in Article 255 (1) of the Constitution.”"
