    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am a Member of the Committee and I want to thank all the Members who have raised the issue. This was a matter of great concern in the Committee. Issues of definition could have been dealt with through a Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill. The Cabinet Secretary did not come the last meeting when we were considering this Bill. They take advantage of their access to the President to advise on issues that are not issues. If some of you read the newspapers, I was quoted as saying that these are things that should not have come up. In fact, there is one that is coming later, which we decided as a Committee that we do not want to raise a big issue of getting two-thirds majority because it will be very difficult. So, we let many of these matters pass. On the final one that will come, the issue of the two-thirds will come up, but we discussed and agreed that it comes. I thank the Members of this Assembly who have said that in this case, the Ministry did not advise the President appropriately. It is not just a matter of definition. There is an issue where technically, it was not done properly. We will raise it when the time comes. Thank you."
