    "content": "That is the existing arrangement of this country because Section 47 of the retired Constitution, if you look at Sections 203(2), 47 was left out. Again, that is not an accident. Hon. Members in this distinguished House, the amendment theory, practice, methods and systems of the retired Constitution are no more and the sooner you come to terms with that practice, the better, because it is only 30 to 40, 43 to 46 and 48 to 58. Two sections were left out of the practices of Parliament, namely, 47 and 59. Therefore, anybody challenging the proposals I am making must remember that the Executive arrangement of this country is still in force. That is why we call ourselves the Grand Coalition Government and the procedures for originating Bills is still in force. I was amazed yesterday, a man I respect a great deal and unfortunately he is not in this afternoon – I hope he is watching or listening - hon. Abdikadir saying that the CIOC will object to this Bill because they were not consulted."
