    "content": " It is on the basis of the decisions of the High Court which I was referring to you. The fundamental basis is that it introduces substantive amendments; very far reaching amendments to 60 different pieces of legislation in an omnibus manner, which is not allowed in law and which is also offensive to the Constitution. The second point which I also gave notice to is that, having come to this House and severally seen the Leader of the Majority Party sign and move Bills and introduce them to this House, I have carefully looked at the Constitution and the Standing Orders. I do not find any basis on which that practice is founded. Indeed, the converse should be that such Bills should come through the various Committees and be moved by the respective chairpersons."
