    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also think that the Attorney-General’s in-tray is too full. He has not processed a lot of it. I do not know why he wants to bring another one on top of his desk. Indeed, his communication with the IEBC could just be another letter that can be ignored by the IEBC; that it is a directive by an outsider because they believe that they are independent and they do not need to take directions from him. However, I think everybody understands the supremacy of Parliament with regard to legislation. We are the ones who would like to correct it. Indeed, we had corrected it but it was thrown out by the Executive. The Attorney-General, on that day, did not advise His Excellency the President that he did not have to return this Bill. He could have simply assented to it. In this situation, I would like to go along with what Mr. Midiwo has drafted as his amendments so that those who want to vie understand that they have to be literate. They should be leaders who are accepted by the voters at home. It is not our business to decide for voters the most educated candidate they should elect. Let them make the decision. They know all these people. I suggest that the Attorney-General allows us to proceed so that we deliberate on the amendments as provided by hon. Midiwo."
