On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have been hearing on many occasions, Members of the Government side-issue Statements directed at Parliament that we are not taking the implementation of the Constitution Bills seriously; that, we are not passing legislation, yet when you hear the Minister give the business that the Government will introduce next week, there is hardly anything to show commitment on the Governmentâs side towards the implementation of the Constitution.
