    "content": "I sit in that Committee and I am one of those that are regularly there in spite of many things that I do. The Bill is talking about the CJ while the amendment is talking about his deputy. I have no problem with both of them. My problem is how we process things in this House and how consistent we are to the rule of law whenever we have things which look like Money Bills. The issue is in the Committee where I sit, and the Chairman is not known to be a liar. I am sure about this because he knows it and he will not dispute. I do not know a single time - and it will come in many of these amendments - that the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill was prosecuted as it is. We have not had any representation from the Judiciary on this matter, taken witness statements or anything from the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). The Budget and Appropriations Committee needs to look at it. These are the laws we face every day which we are bringing amendments concerning Money Bills. Maybe at the end of the day, we will get these amendments go through. All I am saying is that we have some standardised procedure between the office of the Leader of the Majority Party and the Attorney-General so that amendments are in the main Bills and not through the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. That is my point."
