    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why we gave the month of June is because before I came to this House, I talked to the various line Ministries. You will realize that these Bills are being developed by various Ministries and for us to be specific about the dates, a specific date would be perhaps to mislead the House. What we have done as a Ministry is to continuously liaise with these Ministries and tell them that they must move with speed. What is being raised here is genuine. It does not help this country and this House when we have had enough time and we delay up to the last minute and have to rush through the Bills. So, I do not want to give a specific date but I want to assure the House that we will continue to remind the Ministries. For the sake of this House, let me mention that there are about eight stages of developing these Bills. We have the Ministries in charge developing the draft. It goes to the Law Reform Commission (LRC), the CIC and then the stakeholders come together, then to the line Ministry, Cabinet approval and so on. So, it would be very difficult for me to give specific dates but I want to assure the House that we are liaising with the Ministries and telling them to move with speed and conclude."
