    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I believe the President made it very clear in his Address to Parliament at the beginning of this mini session that it would be his pleasure to have not just the Bills that are on the schedule of the first year, but also Bills beyond that coming to this House to be debated and passed. So, it is not the pleasure of the President to delay Bills. His pleasure is actually to accelerate the implementation of the Constitution, and that was made very clear on the Floor of this House. In terms of the appointment to those offices, I believe there are acting Ministers who are doing a commendable job. One of the things that you may know if you refer to, I believe, Section 17 of the former Constitution, which is still in force in matters to do with the Executive, is that it bars Ministers from advising the President on the appointment of Ministers. So, I will not even contemplate advising the President because that will be unconstitutional."
