    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to join the Chair and my good friend. My looks are not very far from his looks; so he needs to go to the mirror. I want to make some very key statements. One, under this system Bills go through a conveyor belt. There is input from CIC, Cabinet Secretary and stakeholders. After that the Bill comes to Parliament, it is looked at by our Legal Department. From there, it goes to the Speaker, the Leader of Majority Party and then it is signed. Then the Bill comes to the House and it is laid on the Table. Hon. Speaker, Sir, under Articles 95 and 96, one of the key functions and mandate of this House is to amend and formulate laws. The President has only one function; to assent. In fact, he cannot usurp the legislative powers of this Parliament. We want to tell our brothers in the media, as I said earlier; investment in the media is very serious and they are serious contributors to the economy, governance and democracy. We want all of us to work together. The accountants in this country, as a profession or institution have laws in which they operate. It is called the Accountants Act. We have great lawyers here, like hon. Kaluma and Maanzo, who at one time stole a certificate."
