| – Manickchand critical of work pace at AG’s Drafting Chambers Even at the level of school, a child is taught that the document with the many fancy clauses offering lofty goals which parliamentarians sometimes bicker over and is approved by the House is not actually a law.It is known that before any Bill becomes law it has to be assented to by the President, and equally important it has to be published in the Official Gazette, hence the saying ignorance of the law is no excuse.The National Assembly this past week approved the Sexual Offences Bill and as such, all concerned stakeholders await the day when this newly approved piece of legislation which has already been recognised as revolutionary becomes a law.This may be later rather than sooner however.Following the passage of the Bill, its pilot, Human Services and Social Security Minister, Priya Manickchand, when asked how confident she was that the President would speedily assent to the Bill, said that President Jagdeo was more interested in seeing it become law than many of the parliamentarians in the House.But this is not the deterring factor.Whilst Manickchand is on record as being appreciative of Mrs Durjohn for her assistance at the Select Committee, in helping to make changes in the Bill, she is also critical of the pace at which the Drafting Chambers of the Attorney General’s Office operates.This scenario poses a hurdle, given the fact that there were several changes made to the Bill at the committee stage over the nine month period it was there but the document that has to be presented to the President must be a completed Bill.This now means that the Bill which was approved along with all the amendments has to again be sent to the Drafting Chambers of the Attorney General’s Chamber to be put into a proper Bill format for Jagdeo’s signature.This sounds like a simple enough task but, it is no state secret that the pace with which this department operates leaves much to be desired.This is the case because of the limited staffing resources.Fortunately, this reality however is not seen as too troubling,Authentic NFL Jerseys Cheap, given that all are optimistic and as the Speaker of the National Assembly said after the Bill had been approved, “once there is will all things are possible” and from all accounts stakeholders are in favour in seeing the Bill become a law. |
