    "content": "Executive. This Constitution cannot be applied selectively, but fairly and constitutionally, if it is protecting the interests of a Member. I listened to Sen. Omogeni during his submissions and he pleaded with you not to demean the status of the House. There is nothing worse than for the Speaker of this House to disobey court orders, from an institution that has the power to issue a court order that can stop us. It is important that we allow this process to proceed, so that they go back and handle their matters. As Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale said, we have only two or three days, and we will be back. I want to be part and parcel of a House that is obeying court orders, fulfilling the spirit of Article 2 of our Constitution. Nobody, from the other or this side, should ever make you feel that you did the wrong thing today in issuing the Communication that you prepared. Mr. Deputy Speaker, we have been arguing about Standing Order No.23. However, it does not give a specific timeframe within which you are supposed to communicate a decision after receiving a letter from the other side. From the position of the Standing Orders and the perspective of the Constitution, you are within the law. I submit that your Communication should be respected by all of us and by this House."
