    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank the Minister for the Ministerial Statement. In the Statement, he indicated that because of various challenges, they are not able to ensure that the Diaspora votes. What I would like him to clarify, because he is also ready to consider that the Constitution talks about this right being progressive--- I can see that we have been playing around with words even where the Constitution is clear, like the women’s one- third gender rule is not progressive but we now want to make progress and where it is progressive, we want to make it retrogressive. What I would want the Minister to explain is; when you talk about “progressive”, what does it mean for the Government? “Progressive” means that you are starting with a number and progressing but you cannot start with a zero and say that it is progressive. Zero is not progressive. Could the Minister tell us what numbers are put towards the “progressive” because zero is not?"
