    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. You know this one is a simba who is a rat. I would want to request and urge that you make a ruling on this matter. This is a very weighty issue. We are a new House and this is going to guide how this House is going to operate for the next years. The Leader of Majority Party has spoken very well and I want to agree with him, which is very rare, that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill only pertains to minor amendments. I want to agree with my young brother hon. Neto that this Bill does not propose minor amendments. If you actually look at the area that hon. Neto has spoken to especially on the issue of bail, it raises very fundamental issues that touch on the constitutional rights. If you look at Article 49(1)(a) of the Constitution as read together with Article 24(2) on limitations of rights, the Constitution is clear how that is to be done. When you are limiting a right, there is a very clear way of doing it – it is not by way of miscellaneous amendments. Even in the issue of regulating the funding of NGOs, that is a major amendment. It is not the only one. I am just giving you examples. There are very many fundamental issues."
