Members, I wish, on my part, to associate myself with the Ministerial Statement issued by the Minister in charge of Provincial Administration and Internal Security and add the following. Hon. Members, one of the primary values that is incorporated in the Constitution as promulgated in 2010 is that as a nation, and as the citizens of this country, we will uphold the rule of law. Further, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution and in particular, the Sixth Schedule, and I am referring to page 195 of the Constitution, Section 7 of the Sixth Schedule, sub-section (1) provides as follows:- “All law in force immediately before the effective date continues in force and shall be construed with the alterations, adoptions, qualifications and exceptions necessary to bring it into conformity with this Constitution.” What this says is that the law that was existing, prior to the 27th August, 2010 is in full force, including those provisions in the Constitution that provide for certain offenses."
