    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Statement sought and the clarification and indication by the Leader of the Majority Party are in order. However, given the nature of the issue that was raised, it requires a direction from you. It is an issue that borders on contempt of Parliament which ought to take priority over other issues. If we were in court, we would have said that we take judicial notice of what has been raised. Even though we are not in court, we are legislators who are alive to what goes on. The reports out there suggest exactly what the Hon. Member asked. Given that this is a matter that you had given direction, there is a misconception by the public. They have been led to believe that the court overturned the decision of this House which is not true. What is true is that the court made certain observations but did not make a finding. Those observations were tabled in this House. Members debated them and, on their merits, decided not to approve the person."
