    "content": "between now and 27th December, 2015. To summarise, they said that 18 pieces of legislation still require to be enacted by the Parliament. Secondly, 80 per cent of the legislations already enacted do not have the regulations implementing those Acts. We are in a position where 18 pieces of legislation still need to be passed and what has already been passed cannot be implemented properly, because the regulations to implement them are not in place. It is because of that reason that the National Assembly gave itself, through a Motion, another one year to enact the 18 legislations and put in place, where necessary, regulations to implement that. I will not say very much because of time. The simple argument before us is that to the extent that the National Assembly has admitted that the legislation required, under the Fifth Schedule, has not been completed and 18 pieces of legislation are still to be done and the regulations to implement 80 per cent of the legislation are still required to be done, the watchdog – the CIC – should also run that period, so that everything is implemented properly, as envisaged under the Constitution. Therefore, the Committee saw the need that we should extend the life of the Commission for at least another two years. I beg to move and ask Sen. Omar to second the Motion."
