    "content": "The National Government Administration Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.73 of 2023) was read a First Time yesterday, Wednesday, 6th December 2023, during the Morning Sitting. Members will note that this is an omnibus Bill which seeks to amend the following four statutes – 1. The Assumption of Office of the President Act, 2012. 2. The National Security Council Act, 2012. 3. The Office of the Attorney-General Act, 2012. 4. The National Government Co-ordination Act, 2013. I note that determining the appropriate committee of the House to which the Bill should be referred requires a careful examination of the purpose that it seeks to accomplish. From a reading of the memorandum, objects and reasons of the Bill, the proposals in the Bill seek to – 1. Include the Secretary to the National Security Council and the Principal Secretary responsible for Defence as members of the Assumption of Office of the President Committee and increase the nominees of the President-elect within the Committee from three to six members. 2. Introduce a National Security Advisor as the Secretary to the National Security Council and establishing a National Security Council Committee; 3. Replace the Attorney-General as the custodian of the public seal with the Head of Public Service. 4. Establish and delineate the functions of the Head of the Public Service and the offices of the Chief Administrative Secretary."
