"content": "I do not think that there was, ever, such a procedure. Two years in any language is inordinately too long. It is not acceptable that the Ministry of Finance, with all the bureaucracies it has, cannot in two years make the modalities to operationalise the Act. In my mind, it is, in fact, a refusal, a fiat, if you please, on the National Assembly and on Parliament. If that is the position, it is the responsibility of the Speaker to ensure that Parliament does not act in vain. It is also my responsibility to ensure that this House continues to have its integrity. For lack of any other procedures, I will go to Standing Order No.1. Under Standing Order No.1, I direct and order that the Minister shall operationalise this Bill within seven days, failing which, the House will take such appropriate action as it deems necessary."
