    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I have two issues to raise with regard to the Statement by the Leader of Majority Party. As a House and as Members, we feel a bit frustrated in the manner in which our Bills are being processed, either we have to rethink the processing of the Bills especially pre-publication. I had a Bill which went to the Committee in May on the retirement of the Prime Minister and the former Vice- President. To date, even though the Standing Orders are very clear that it should take 14 days, I do not know the status of that Bill. I have even another one that I had prepared on social welfare and I also do not know its status. Something needs to be done. Two, on the same, if you look at our Supplementary Order Paper, this afternoon we are just going to debate Motions. This is not reflecting very well on the use of time of the Members of Parliament. We need to be debating Bills in this House. When you see the Order Paper like this, it is like Members do not have Bills to introduce to the House. This is not the case. It is because there is a hitch somewhere. We need to find out where the hitch is. Is it the Clerk’s office or where is the hitch? I am personally feeling frustrated."
