    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on page 197. I will also take you to page 203, 29(1) and 29(2). I am citing these particular sections of this Constitution in respect of the appointments of Assistant Ministers and Ministers that was made yesterday by the President. My understanding is that these transitional and consequence positions require that after the President has consulted with the Prime Minister, he should then present those names to this House to seek approval of this National Assembly. That is the gist. So, if you look at 12(2) it states as follows:- “The persons occupying the offices of the Vice-President and Deputy Prime Minister or holding positions in Cabinet or as an Assistant Minister immediately before the effective date, shall continue to serve in accordance with the former Constitution until the first general elections held under this Constitution, unless they vacate or are removed from office in accordance with the former Constitution and National Accord and Reconciliation Act of 2008.”"
