    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I want to congratulate you as the Chairman, Parliamentary Service Commission, for the statements you issued this morning and the advisory you gave Members yesterday evening, that helped bring down the temperatures and fires that were being fanned by activists almost creating a situation that Parliament is illegitimate. You helped in reasserting the legitimacy of Parliament and gave facts that people did not know. Hon. Speaker, the clamor for the new Constitution up to 2010, was about serving the greater public interest and improvement in the governance of the country. I will come back to that later. We must ask ourselves in all these issues, where is the greater public interest? We are now debating a matter that we need not to have debated if the Chief Justice did not do what he did. We would have been passing Bills. A lot of energy is being consumed across the country with a lot of anxiety and people are not sure about what is going to happen.
