    "content": "The other issue, and hon. Members, please, listen to me, is that all these clauses that I have mentioned from 90, 89, 97 to 98, appear in Chapters 7 and 8 of the Constitution. If you go backwards to page 55, you will see Chapter 7. It starts from Article 81 and continues until Chapter 8 and Chapter 8 commences further down in Article 93 at page 63. Therefore, I have covered the amendments in Chapter 7. The amendments in Chapter 8 begin at page 63 and they begin with Clause 97 at page 65, which I pleaded with hon. Khalwale, with his beautiful big brain power, to just listen to me. I know that if I convince people like these, such distinguished people, the country will understand. Therefore, Article 97 is at page 65. It is in Chapter 8 of the Constitution. Article 98 is in Chapter 8. Allow me to take you to Section 2 of the Sixth Schedule at page 192. It is important for the country to appreciate what my Ministry is proposing to this country. If you look at Section 2 at page 192, it says as follows:- “Suspension of Provision of this Constitution. The following provisions of this Constitution are suspended until the final announcement of all the results of the first elections for Parliament under this Constitution and- (a) Chapter Seven, except that the provisions of the Chapter shall apply to the first general elections under this Constitution. (b) Chapter Eight, except that the provisions of the Chapter relating to the election of the National Assembly and the Senate shall apply to the first general elections under this Constitution”."
