    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I asked this issue of Mwongozo to the Chairperson, and the Leader of the Majority Party rose to explain, but I do not know whether he got the substance. I think he did. Mwongozo code was brought to this House as a policy paper which, therefore, was the basis upon which legislation was made. However, the word Mwongozo itself must be defined by statute law so that when you are referring to it in this legislation that we are talking about, you know exactly, with certainty, what you are talking about. It is just a simple thing. It does not even require debate. I do not know why clear issues such as this should lead us to a debate. The Chairperson should just come to Clause 2 of this Bill and attempt to define it. After we have run through the clauses, we will come back to the definition section which is Clause 2. In that clause, she should define, with clarity, what Mwongozo literally means so that anybody reading that legislation will know what this thing is all about. In my view, all of us who are legislation practitioners will understand that that is common sense. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
