    "content": "I recently asked the same Government to give us a statement on why they failed to obey the timelines for Parliament. For example, for 18 months, they knew these Bills would be here. What timelines did they accord to every stage of the development of that Bill? It is very clear in the Constitution, and in fact, the Government is flouting the Constitution by giving Parliament one week or two weeks to pass legislation, when they are aware that the same Constitution allows for the publication period for two weeks. It then allows First Reading, and then it is committed to the Committee. That is another two weeks, and then the period for debate is another two weeks; the period for the President to assent is another two weeks. Why do we not work out timelines for every Bill to allow Parliament the normal six weeks it must have for the implementation?"
