    "content": "The import of this amendment is to align this clause with the constitutional provision. When we pass Bills and the President assents to them, they should not be delayed by a Cabinet Secretary. This is about the commencement date of the Act. As it has been written in this Bill, it gives the Cabinet Secretary the discretion to decide when to make this law active. As we saw in the Public Benefit Organisations Bill, that became a problematic issue. Therefore, we want to make a clean Bill so that once the President assents to it, the Cabinet Secretary can implement it upon its publication, in accordance with Article 116 of the Constitution."
