    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I wish to appreciate the contribution made by Members, particularly in support of this Motion. I also appreciate the concerns they have expressed concerning both institutions that were involved in ensuring that the Bills were brought before the House. Perhaps, some of the concerns may be that the Members were not able to get them during the initial movement of these Bills. It is important to reiterate the fact that, as far as CIOC is concerned, it is not able to pinpoint any blame anywhere. That is because as I said, the two Bills relating to the media were forwarded by the Attorney-General’s Office on 21st June to CIC. The CIC stayed with those Bills and forwarded them back to the Attorney-General on 16th July. These Bills found their way to the House on 19th July and they were referred for publication by Parliament by 23rd July. Therefore, it is not giving Parliament sufficient time to ensure that the two Bills are published and read the First Time within 14 days. That delay did not arise because of the CIC or the Attorney-General."
