    "content": "(c) cross-examine persons who give adverse evidence against him; and (d) request for an adjournment of the proceedings, where necessary to ensure a fair hearing. (5) Nothing in this section, shall have the effect of limiting the right of any person to appear or be represented by a legal representative in judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings. (6) Where the decision making body is empowered by any written law to follow a procedure which conforms to the principles set out in Article 47 of the Constitution, the decision making body may act in accordance with that different procedure. What we are seeking to do is to delete the entire Clause and replace with the proposals that are contained in the Order Paper today. The reason being, we are seeking to reflect the provisions of Article 47 of the Constitution that expand the opportunities to be afforded to a person affected by adverse administrative action or decision. What is contained in the Bill is rather restrictive to persons who are aggrieved and who have been affected by an administrative action. For instance, what we are seeking to amend in the clause is that every person has the right to administrative action which is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair and that reflects what is contained in Article 47 and it flows. So, what we are seeking to do is merely to expand and reflect what is contained in Article 47. Thank you."
