    "content": "Either the Committee in its work, or at some point in a Statement can go step by step and address those issues. Sen. Orengo is right. The parliamentary initiative First Reading and Second Reading is 90 days. Article 257 of the Constitution talks about introduction immediately, and does not talk about any other processes. This is because you cannot amend in Third Reading. Therefore, it is important. However, I thought a better way is to have a more detailed communication. We had asked the legal team to synthesize. There is even an issue raised. It is important I say so because it is not a secret. If you go to Article 257 (6) and (7), it talks about draft Bill. When it goes to Article 257 (8), it talks about a Bill. Those who are arguing that it must be introduced were saying that the minute it leaves the assembles, it is not a draft Bill and, therefore, must be published. Which is also not correct legally, but importantly, is that the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, where Sen. Orengo and I sit, should ideally guide the country in this very new area."
