"content": "as this House are expected to debate on the reservations and pass a version of the Bill that has been agreed upon by the two Houses. It only then behooves this House to grant us some time, so that we can have an engagement with the counterpart Committee from the National Assembly, so that we agree on a version that the two Houses will have on the Bill. This cannot and will not be done within the 14 days, which are lapsing today. At the same time, the National Assembly is still on recess. They will be resuming on the 26th of this month, I believe. The Standing Orders of the National Assembly gives them 28 days to consider such reservations - whether from the President or otherwise - coming to the House on a Bill that has been rejected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that means that even if we agree to do a joint consideration of those reservations with the counterpart Committee from the National Assembly, it can only be done when the period within which our Standing Orders provides has been enlarged and we are, therefore, within that period legally. The issue that this Procedural Motion is asking is just one; give us 45 calendar days, so that we can accommodate the consideration of those reservations and consider whether it is possible to have a joint meeting with our counterparts from the National Assembly to consider this Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. Chimera to second this Motion. I thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to second the Motion as moved by my very able Chair of the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee (JLAHRC). This Motion is pretty much straightforward as it speaks to the need to seek to extend the time within which the Committee will be allowed to consider the reservations as sent forward by the President. You will notice, this is the second time this Bill is being referred back to Parliament for further amendments. If you look at the reservations from the President, what has been proposed raises quite serious concerns and very weighty would-be amendments. As a Committee, we wish to be allowed much more time to caucus, discuss and thoroughly look into the proposed amendments, the clauses as they are so that we can come up with a much more acceptable version that will be ready for presidential assent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those many remarks, I beg to second this Motion."
