    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I wish to register my support for the proposed amendments by the State Law Office as moved on the Floor of the House by the Leader of the Majority Party and as amended through the Report by the Joint Committee of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs. The initial Report was tabled in this House on 21st February and the Addendum was tabled before the House on 12th March 2024. I speak about these reports because there may be confusion in the original text. The original texts of the Bills that have been proposed for amendment have been altered by amendments that were brought through public participation and committee reports. Procedurally, they will be prosecuted when the Committee of the whole House is convened. That is the information we wanted to give to Hon. Members. Hon. Temporary Speaker, the National Government Administration Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.73 of 2023) principally proposed to amend four statutes. The first one being the Assumption of the Office of the President Act, which appears to have a consensus, that it is justified for the President elect to be given prominence, in the committee preparing his assumption of office. Therefore, the additional number of nominees by the President elect to six from the current two appears not controversial. Thus, I will say very little about it."
