    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would be the last person to deny this august House the opportunity to utilize the constitutional mandate of consultations. That does not mean that I do not struggle in my mind and wonder why we should take so long. Therefore, I would suggest that all records of this House show that my Ministry, through me, has said that we could have appointed the Inspector-General using the Constitution. Even on the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee (CIOC) itself--- The Chairman is nodding very vigorously. I was told: “Mutula, stop jumping the gun”. I have been told that many other times. Therefore, it is essential that the House understands that the Government is not asking for the reduction of time purely for cosmetics. It is that the final release of these Bills by Commission for the Implementation of the Constitution (CIC) and the hon. Attorney-General occurred, and the hon. Minister is sitting here, less than seven days to go. They had to go through the Cabinet and so on."
