    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The idea that we want to give the President a voice on the mandate that falls under the NSC is very good, but has the Mover also thought about the composition of the NSC? In my view, the President or his voice is already there. Two, when we are saying NSC or the President, what it means is that you can literally by interpreting that provision, shift the entire function which legally is under the NSC to the President. It would have been acceptable if we said “and the President” not “or the President”. “Or the President” means the President may do it without reference to the NSC so that we end up with a situation in which we have vagueness in terms of the authority we should be waiting to execute this function. It may not be semantics but it is very critical. Can we say “and the President” not “or the President” otherwise the President will take over this function?
