    "content": "Hon. Members, before we move to the next Order I have three communications to make. First, as you will recall yesterday, Wednesday, 27th June, 2012, I gave communication on the matter of the refusal by His Excellency the President to assent to the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, 2012 and his submission of a memorandum thereon. This communication followed the earlier communication I made on Tuesday, 26th June, 2012, in which I detailed the procedure for the disposal by this House of a Presidential Memorandum. Hon. Members, subsequent to these communications, I did receive yesterday a proposal supported by several hon. Members seeking to put forward for the consideration of the House a proposed amendment to the President’s amendment as set out in the memorandum in respect of Section 51 of the Political Parties Act.

I have come to the conclusion that the proposed amendment is inadmissible. Therefore, I accordingly direct that the Committee of the whole House considers the proposed amendments as set out in the Order Paper and that the House will proceed to deal with the Presidential Memorandum in terms of Standing Order No.125(6) and Section 46(5) of the former Constitution.
