"content": "The matters that Hon. Duale has raised are weighty and worth your considered opinion, direction and ruling. I was wondering aloud as Hon. Duale spoke, and I listened carefully to what the Leader of the Majority Party said. I have also listened to all the Members who have raised matters on this subject. I hear all of us wondering whether there is a possibility of this House being remotely controlled by another institution somewhere. Hon. Speaker, as you read through the issues that Hon. Duale has raised and consider the comments that other Members have made, ensure that this House is not gagged. Hon. Duale raised the issue of time that this House spends in dealing with legislative proposals and Bills that are referred to the various committees. I was just thinking about what has already been brought by various Members and by the Committee on Implementation of the Constitution, which is chaired by my colleague who is seated here. The question is: When a Member raises a legislative proposal or a Bill, he does so with a purpose. So far, a lot of resources and the time of this House have been put into them. Is it a solution to say that we drop everything because we are listening to another institution at another level?
