    "content": "lying in the Senate. Secondly, the question of the two-thirds gender rule, which in my view, is yet to be implemented whether progressively as pronounced by the courts or in full. This Committee seems to be telling the House that the work of the implementation of the Constitution is only about devolution which in my opinion is not the case. That is why they want to change the title. Is devolution the only part of the implementation of the Constitution? That is the question I am posing to you. The guidance I seek before you put the Question is whether the proposal to change the title of the Committee and transfer their functions to the new committee is in tandem with Article 262 and the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. Two, is this decision implementable if we adopt this Report this afternoon? If the House resolves to go the way the Committee is suggesting, your Committee on Standing Orders will have to amend the Standing Orders to create this new Committee on Devolution and probably cause a deletion of the Constitutional Implementation Oversight Committee from the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. What I expected from the Committee is an assessment of the progress of the implementation of the Constitution in all aspects. That is what the Committee should have dwelt with and that report should have been tabled for this House to consider."
