"content": "Now you are debating the merits. The point is whether we suspend debate or not. If all of you begin discussing the merits, then we might as well allow the Member for Gem to move the Bill. I must caution that even as we do whatever we must do, remember Article 118 of the Constitution has been cited in a number of court decisions where there has not been adequate public participation. We must also appreciate the fact that the Committee is already doing that and they can continue. Also, a few minutes ago, I was discussing something with the Member for Rongo and he notes that at the Committee of the whole House, it is only fair that amendments be minimal. You cannot bring amendments that tend to change the law, even as a Committee. The Committee can bring a report to say that they do not like the Bill as it is. Efforts to amend all clauses including some that have not even been debated must be curtailed. Member for Kikuyu, do we proceed or not?"
