    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank you for your ruling and more specifically, the first ruling. I also want to thank His Excellency the President for having amended the Memorandum. When His Excellency the President first submitted the Memorandum to this House, I had gone through it and hinted to a section of the Executive that the Memorandum of the President was in contravention of the National Police Service Act which I had the opportunity of obtaining from one of the arms of the Government. Barely three days after I had obtained the Act, it was missing in all Government premises including the Government Printer. The answer we got was that this Act has not been published and is not operational. Frantic efforts to locate the Act were not fruitful until later I submitted a copy and even circulated a copy to some hon. Members who I wanted to obtain the benefit of what is contained in it. The reason why I am raising this issue is that according to the President’s Memorandum, the one that was not amended and the version which has not been amended in one section states that, accordingly, there is no county equivalent of the National Security Council. This is the section that I had raised with a section of the Executive; that there is indeed a county equivalent of the National Security Council in the National Police Service Act. In that regard, I would humbly request that the amended version of the President’s Memorandum be distributed once again to the House for us to have the benefit whether this particular sentence that is contained in the President’s Memorandum that contravenes the Act that we passed in this House of the National Police Act, indeed has been amended or what the President has amended is only the section that deals with Section 30(1) (i) to change it to Section 30(2) (i). Thank you."
