    "content": "only thing that remains is, therefore, the question of whether the House agrees with the contents of the Bill either fully or partly after proposing the necessary amendments. Any Member is well within their right to support, oppose or propose amendments to the Bill. Hon. Members, as you are well aware, I, as your Speaker, only preside and I do not debate or vote on any question proposed for determination in the House. In summary, therefore, I wish to guide the House as follows: (i) THAT, the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2021) is properly before the House. In introducing the Bill in the House, the Leader of the Majority Party has satisfied the procedure prescribed in the Standing Orders and previous guidance issued by the Speaker. (ii) THAT, the proposals contained in the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2021) seeking to limit certain fundamental rights and freedoms safeguarded under the Constitution do not, in my view, render the Bill unconstitutional. The Bill explicitly discloses the intended limitations and the purpose and extent of the limitations as required by Article 24 of the Constitution."
