    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I just want to say something for clarity here. We are saying that these regulations will only be exercised after a draft proposal has been approved by the National Assembly at least six months preceding a general election. My worry is: If the commission is to make some regulations within six months before we go on recess – within the six months period before the elections, who will approve those regulations because they will be null and void for purposes of that election? Yet the whole essence of giving them power to make some regulations is to be able, for example, to lay some regulations, gazetting a certain area. I think it is important that we look at this matter with some flexibility. My understanding of what the Minister approved was that the regulations will be tabled. However, what is formally recorded here is that they will be approved six months before elections. So, we need to be very careful that we are not confusing the time of their being tabled here and with the time of their being approved six months before."
