    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a very serious matter. I would have wished for a shorter time than two weeks. Some of us still go to court. The administration of justice, particularly in those courts being presided over by persons sitting as judges within this group, is so badly affected. Just a short while ago, I was before one of those judges and a person who did not want to proceed just shot up and said: “I want you to recuse yourself. No ground. The President did not appoint you”. It gets that embarrassing. It is unjustly denying the due administration of justice because of the consultations involved and the level where they will be undertaken. I will accept two weeks but it should be noted that this request is going to what the Government is doing, not just the Executive. I expect a response bringing together what even as an institution, as Parliament, we can do to mediate over that matter. It is something that is adversely affecting the rule of law and administration of justice. I will go by the two weeks. I am happy the Leader of the Majority Party takes this matter seriously, given its weight."
