    "content": "Hon. Members, I think it behooves this House to acknowledge the efforts that the Minister has as so far made and we must be grateful for his industry in an endeavour to ensure that the Constitution is implemented. Yes, the Minister may have been, perhaps, too anxious as he ought to be rightly so, given that the business of implementation of the Constitution actually falls under his portfolio and given that he is the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. So, he is entitled to have that concern. Mr. Minister, I am glad you have acknowledged and appreciated that the matters that you have canvassed in your statement to withdraw the Bills are matters that this House was awake to and that I addressed myself to and advised that there was need to ensure that even as we bring Bills to implement the Constitution, we must do so constitutionally. I am glad that we are now all in agreement, including the Attorney-General. So, Mr. Minister, you have my concurrence that you have a sound basis to withdraw the two Bills. I, therefore, direct that the two Bills stand withdrawn."
