    "content": "Bill in its original form by a resolution supported by two-thirds of all the hon. Members of the National Assembly. As hon. Members are aware, Standing Order No.138 (1)(2) provides that on recomittal of Bills, the Committee of the whole House considers only those matters which are specifically referred to it for consideration. The procedure on a Bill recommitted as provided shall therefore apply mutatis mutandis. This means that only amendments to specific clauses being reconsidered shall be entertained. The essence of Article 115 of the Constitution is that in order for the House to reject the recommendation by His Excellency the President, it requires a requisite number of 232.6, approximately 233 Members. This is two-thirds of the total membership of the House. The reporting procedure of the Bill will not be read a Third Time as this was done when it was passed on 31st October this year. Hon. Memebers, I will therefore give further guidelines on Tuesday 23rd December 2013, when the Bill appears on the Order Paper for consideration. I now direct that the Clerk circulates the memorandum from His Excellency the President to all Members. In the meantime, the memorandum by His Excellency the President is referred to the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information. I thank you, hon. Members. Sorry, hon. Members. I think I said Tuesday, 3rd December and not 23rd. Next Order."
