    "content": "Hon. Members, the Elections Act was one of the many statutes passed on the last day of the Constitutional deadline for enactment of certain legislations. There was extensive debate on it and numerous amendments were made to it, including amendments on the Floor in a form other than that for which notice had been given on the Order Paper. All the amendment to all the Acts needed to be harmonized and incorporated in the Draft Acts so as to have them presented to the President for assent before midnight on 27th August, 2011. The Chair is aware that work on those Bill went on well into the small hours of the morning for several days during that week in August. In those circumstances, one can see how a typographical error resulting in the non-deletion of the word “not” could occur at the Office of the Attorney-General in the preparation of the Draft Elections Act. The error was similarly not detected by the officers of Parliament during the verification and certification of the Draft Act. The Chair should not appear to and will, indeed, not tolerate or downplay such errors."
