    "content": "In addition to that, I have seen that there is more. If you look at the Petition as it is as amended, No. 17 has a problem. Number 17 is purporting to direct a constitutional commission how to do its work. That is expressly contrary to Article 249 of the Constitution. Number 19 has yet another problem, it purports to give direction to a Cabinet Secretary on how to deal with refugees contrary to the Refugees Act. The Refugees Act is very clear in terms of how to deal with refugees, who is a refugee and the refugee commissioner but now this one is bringing in the Cabinet Secretary. Number 20 is again another illegality. There is an express way in Section 3 of the Commissions of Inquiry Act on how a commission of inquiry is to be established. This Report purports to go contrary to the express provisions of Section 3 of that Act. The problem here is that we would be committing an unconstitutionality and an illegality and it is not just a matter of voting. We cannot vote on what is illegal. I would therefore suggest that you give an express ruling on this so that we cannot even defer it. It is illegal. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
