    "content": "First, there is need to harmonise the various provisions in the Act especially following the ruling by the Court of Appeal. There have been two rulings. The first one declared some provisions in the NG-CDF Act as unconstitutional and the recent ruling by the Court of Appeal made it clear that Members of Parliament have no role to play especially with the NG-CDF. We need to come up with clear rules and provisions that cannot be challenged in the courts. We have three arms of Government: the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Executive. Each arm of Government should play its role without interfering with the other. We have seen situations where this House passes some laws, but another arm of Government declares them unconstitutional, null and void. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
