    "content": "Hon. Speaker, whenever legislation is passed through Committees, a lot of work and time is devoted to consultations. We conduct public participation and a lot of energy is put in, in coming up with legislation. What should worry any Member of the National Assembly, irrespective of which side of the political divide they sit, is the loss of that power through the Executive sneaking these reservations knowing very well it is very difficult to raise the two- thirds majority. This is our concern. If it means changing the Standing Orders and the Constitution, it has to be done to protect our role to legislate. It is not the work of the Executive to legislate.
