    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. For the same reasons that Hon. Mbadi has said, I want to support. I would also request that because we are dealing with almost 15 pieces of legislation, in future, if it is possible - and this is something I am putting before the House because I do not sit on the Committee on Procedure and House Rules - to find a way of putting the word ‘omnibus’ at the beginning. This is because, when we just have Business Laws (Amendment) Bill, I actually thought that it was one law but we are dealing with almost 14 to 15 pieces of legislation. We can have that in future for better preparation. I thought I am preparing for one but this is very tedious because it requires more preparation than even some of us have done. Just for effective preparation in future, if we can have the word ‘omnibus’ at the front it will help us know. Yesterday, we dealt with a similar Bill and we finally managed to catch-up and follow but it becomes difficult when we have so many things that we are following. I am afraid that as a Parliament we might just find ourselves passing laws simply because we are not following. So, I feel a little bit frustrated with the process today."
