We still learn, the law is always at large, so I am still trying to research on whether executive instrument or legislative instrument will come and all, but I am sure bringing it to Parliament, I don\u2019t know, but we will check it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if it comes and it\u2019s a matter of we doing revocation, what procedure and all would also be looked at.
