    "content": "Hon. Members, the foregoing recap of the meanderous journey of attempts to amend the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, since 2015 contradicts the view that a mischievous attempt has been made to ‘ sneak’ undesirous and unconstitutional amendments into this House as claimed by the Hon. Aden Duale. It is also inaccurate for certain Members to have claimed that the amendments in question had been severally rejected on account of unconstitutionality. Clearly, the only reasons on record as having curtailed consideration of the said amendments by the House whenever they were introduced were structural and procedural errors with regard to the form of the amendments and the vehicle through which they were proposed for introduction in the House. With regard to the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2021), as currently before the House, I note that in introducing the Bill in the House, the Leader of the Majority party has satisfied the procedure prescribed in Standing Order 114 (Introduction of Bills) . In addition, the procedural defects that sounded a death knell to the previous attempts that I have narrated seem fully addressed."
