    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT Clause 3 of the Bill be amended- (a) by inserting the words “a Prime Minister, two Deputy Prime Ministers and” immediately after the words “shall be” appearing in Subclause (1); (b) by inserting the words “including the offices of Prime Minister and the two Deputy Prime Ministers shall not be less than fifteen nor” immediately after the word “section” appearing in Subclause (3); (c) by inserting the following new Subclauses immediately after Subclause (4) as follows- (5) The ministerial portfolio of the Prime Minister shall be as assigned by the Constitution. (6) The President shall appoint each Deputy Prime Minister to be a Minister in charge of one of the offices of Minister specified in the Schedule or established under Subsection (2), as the case may be. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, with your permission, I just want to explain the rationale. This is really making it a bit neat. We have made sure that some offices that do not necessarily have to have the specific portfolio except for the position of the Prime Minister which has a portfolio given as per the Constitution, for instance the two Deputy Prime Ministers and the Vice-President shall already be Ministers of the Government. We have put that in the body so that it will help with the further amendments to the Schedule."
