    "content": "As the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, we were alive to judicial pronouncements and High Court ruling in previous judgements, such as Constitutional Petition No.3 of 2016, concerning the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act of 2015, inter alia, in which the court held that when dealing with miscellaneous amendments, it is not meant to alter the law or the spirit of the law apart from what you are aligning. Just to quote, it says that: “It is, therefore, clear that both on policy and good governance, which is one of the values and principles of governance in Article 10 of the Constitution, which values and principles form the foundation of our statute and nation as decreed in Article 4(2) of Constitution, omnibus amendments in the form of statute law miscellaneous legislation ought to be confined only to minor noncontroversial and generally house-keeping amendments.”"
