I am sure this Bill is coming out to address those issues. We also know that the issues of prosecution are all lying at the Attorney-General and now we have a new dispensation whereby the Attorney-General is the legal adviser to the Government and also heads the legal profession within the country. I will not bother considering the issues of seniority as my colleagues have put it. All I know is that the legal adviser even when he is in that Coalition for Reform and Democracy (CORD) which I doubt will form the next Government, will still seek the opinion of the Attorney-General. So, I think seniority there now speaks for itself."}
