    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In order for this kind of Bill to be brought to the House, there ought to be a Report from the relevant Committee of Parliament. However, in this particular case, there is no such thing because the President directed at a baraza that this Bill must be brought to Parliament. The institutions in our country and, more so, the Legislature, must be independent. We should be transacting business independently. That is why you are there. You are the Chair. We do not have to entertain campaign gimmicks when it is, in fact, obvious that we are not going to raise the numbers to amend the Constitution in the next one week. That is why I am saying it is futile to introduce this Bill before the House. Maybe, it is a public relations exercise, but it will not help the President because 10 million strong voters have already made up their mind. The 10 million strong National Super Alliance (NASA) supporters have made up their mind. This will not help."
