All members of the committee accepted the government's position that it was important to fight the power of vigilance and that this could pose a threat to our democracy and that we should in no way tolerate it. ;impunity.

"We have therefore accepted that the bill has not been presented to Parliament under a certificate of urgency requiring us to set out the requirements of section 106 2B, which requires the Attorney General to publish the draft bill. law in the Gazette, which requires a 14-day notice. "

"So when we went to the committee meeting, we all agreed that we would accept the bill as an urgent bill. Nothing happens, absolutely nothing happens on the bill in Parliament. If you hear a comment on the bill, it is a footnote. The president is offline, "he added.
