    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also stand to support the reduction of the publication period from 14 days to one day; but I think this is also another time when we want to ask whether there is a deliberate move to delay some of these things because they are brought the last minute, yet some of them are very critical to this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the timetable even of the Registrar of Political Parties, parties were required to submit their nomination rules by 4th September which was yesterday. They are supposed to be in line with the Election Bill that we are going to discuss. It is very sad because we do not know whether political parties presented their nomination rules. During the 14 days that we are normally given, we are supposed to consult with our constituents and facilitate public participation in all the discussions. I would urge the Government to be a bit more serious when they bring Bills here. It looks as if it is just a game. Every day, there are delays and Bills are brought to the House in the last minute; then you hear that we have to come back with amendments. With those remarks, I beg to support."
