    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, sorry I was not ready to speak, but let me make a comment on the proposed legislation. I support the legislation. It is time we reviewed the Penal Code in its entirety because it has various offences such as unauthorised uniforms. You could dress in certain uniform, but you are told that that particular uniform is not authorised. Section 175 talks about nuisances and offences against health and inconvenience. Section 182 talks about idling and disorderly persons. How does a person become disorderly or idle? We have cases where you may be in town or at a particular stage waiting to meet somebody and the police come and tell you that you are under arrest because you are not supposed to be there. These are some of the offences that we do not need to have particularly at this time when we have a new Constitution that gives us freedom of association and movement. This is a timely proposal that this House should support. I support it. We need to look at the Penal Code as a whole and see how we can tamper with certain aspects or offences that we do not need to have at this point in time. I support."
