    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened very attentively to your communication, and in line with separation of powers of the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary--- Now, in respect of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, part of whose responsibility is, indeed, to scrutinize those Ministries or departments that fall under its purview, I would like some clarification that these matters are currently being handled by the Implementation Committee of the House. I find it somewhat difficult in the sense that the Committee comprises Ministers of the Government. They will now be required to be reviewing, or scrutinizing, proposals emanating from the Government. If we want to bring this matter to rest--- If, indeed, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs has been abolished, I think it will be useful for the country to know that. If it has not, then I think it is the responsibility of the House, even under the new articles of the Constitution that some decision be given in writing to members of that Committee, so that they understand what their functions are. I particularly would not want us, when implementing the new Constitution, to start by breaching it. Perhaps, you could give some clarification as to how we handle that one."
