    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, whatever fate befalls that particular amendment, let me just clarify that we are asking for a seamless transfer of information from one House to another. This is because there is already a requirement in the Bill that says that where public participation has been done, the other House can adopt what has been done without necessarily going to do another public participation. So, I am not asking that they present the various memoranda that have been presented by the members of public. All I am saying is that they present a report confirming, for example, that certain views were received from certain groups. It is a very simple statement. It is just a memorandum. It is as simple as that. I am not saying that we transmit the written memorandum from the members of the public. In any case, Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the provision of the Constitution about public participation is not cosmetic. It is not a farce. It was meant to guide legislative process because Members of Parliament act on behalf of the electorate; they do not act on their own behalf. So, whatever fate befalls this amendment, it is just enhancing it."
