    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Questioner is a Member of the Multisectoral Constitutional Forum, which is chaired by His Excellency the Vice- President and Minister for Home Affairs. The Constitutional Amendment Bill which was forwarded to my office, was considered and returned to the forum together with a number of comments on where we felt it fell short and some of the difficulties of the provisions of that Bill, apart from refining it. It was sent back through the Clerk of the National Assembly. In the letter that forwarded the Bill, we also pointed out that the Attorney-General is not the one to sign the Bill. According to the organisation of Government, it is the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs who is supposed to do that. First, the Constitutional Amendment Bill is yet to be finalised by this Committee, taking into account the various comments that I made on it. Secondly, the Committee is well aware, because I wrote to it through the Clerk, that according to the organisation of Government, this Bill is to be brought to this House by the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs."
