    "content": "This is very simple. If you look at Sections 8 and 9 of the Treaty and Regulations Act, you will find that they provide for the processing of ratifications of treaties by both Houses of Parliament. This is contrary to Paragraph 1(i) of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution that has mandated this function to foreign affairs, foreign policy and international trade. If you look at those, you will find that they are functions of the national Government. So, this amendment is basically saying that it should not be to Houses of Parliament. The mandate of considering ratifications and treaties should be for the National Assembly. That is in accordance with the Fourth Schedule."
