"content": "Therefore, this Bill is seeking to implement Article 207 of the Constitution, which Article should have been implemented within 18 months of the promulgation of the Constitution. In failure to do so within this timeline, Parliament is required, through a resolution, to extend the timeline. Therefore, if we proceed to debate this Bill and even take a vote on it, which may be a “Yes” vote, and pass it into an Act of Parliament without seeking leave of this House through a two-thirds majority, we would be in breach of the Constitution. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, I would urge the Chair to rule that the Motion on this Bill cannot proceed until the Government seeks leave of this House to extend the time for the implementation of Article 207, which we have not implemented to date. That is my point of order, by which I seek the Chair’s indulgence. Thank you very much."
