    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Procedural Motion. In fact, I was not going to say anything but now that the Government has been accused of being disorganized, I will say something. The Government is not disorganized. What is happening is that the Constitution requires extensive and intensive consultations. This is what is taking time. Previously, we were accustomed to the Ministry preparing the draft policy and then taking it to the Attorney- General for the drafting of a draft Bill. Now, in between, you have to consult all the stakeholders and have town hall kind of meetings. This is what is taking time. This is a learning process. We are learning and I am sure as we go by, we are going to improve the efficiency. But that is not disorganization. The stakeholders require extensive and sometimes intensive discussions. This is what is taking time. I, therefore, support the Procedural Motion."
