    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am very sure that hon. Members are aware that we are enacting this legislation, pursuant to the new Constitution. I am wondering whether it is in order for the hon. Member to mislead this House, against the very clear provisions of the Constitution. Section 75 of the Constitution talks about the conduct of State officers. It reads:- “A State officer shall behave, whether in public and official life, in private life, or in association with other persons, in a manner that avoids— ( a ) any conflict between personal interests and public or official duties; ( b ) compromising any public or official interest in favour of a personal interest; or--- Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, further, Section 77(1) reads:- “A full-time State officer shall not participate in any other gainful employment.” Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am only bringing to life the provisions of the Constitution which we are supposed to legislate. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Section 2 is on Supremacy of the Constitution."
