    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have read this and we were clear earlier in our contributions. We said the order of precedence is the Constitution, written statutes, and regulations and nothing else. The formative part of this particular amendment moved by the Leader of the Majority Party on behalf of the Treasury sounds fine which is, “Nothing in this Act shall limit the obligation of the public entity to disclose any contract-related information pursuant to the provisions of Access to Information Act 2016.” Thereafter is where things go wrong. It further says “and such other guidelines as may be issued by the Government from time to time”. The only guidelines which are issued by Government are Regulations. You cannot demean an Act of Parliament. The Access to Information Act is very clear as to how each Government entity gives information."
