    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, do you want me go through them? The Committee proposes to delete the proposed amendment to Sections 2 and 25 of the Power of Mercy Act, 2011, No. 21 of 2011. The Bill proposes to amend section 2 of the Power of Mercy Act, which provides that the CS means the CS for the time being responsible for matters relating to correctional services. The Bill proposes to delete this and substitute a new definition to provide that CS means the CS for the time being responsible for matters relating to justice. The difficulty with this proposed amendment is that we do not have a Ministry of Justice. Even though the Attorney-General sits in the Cabinet and has a department of justice, there will be confusion as to who will be the CS. Moreover, under Article 153 of the Constitution, CSs responsible are obligated to attend before committees and answer questions. So, who then will be the CS responsible in the current context?"
