    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, why I think these amendments are necessary - and I hope that you will give me time to contribute to the Motion as amended - is that all that we are asking for are in the Constitution, in law and even in regulations. All that is required is for the Government to take action and put them in place. That is why I am saying that instead of using the word “urges” I want the word “resolves” which I know is more forceful. As regards amendment No.2, if this amendment forces the Government to put a clear plan of action with timelines, then we expect that the Committee on Implementation can follow up very clearly and say when this is supposed to be done and check if it has been done. Very often, we pass very many Motions that are saying “urge” but nothing happens. There is no way of monitoring how you are urging and how somebody is doing something they are urged to do. If you have a clear plan of action and that has been resolved, then you are duty-bond to take action. That is the object of my amendments.
