    "content": "As your Speaker, I remain cognisant of the obligation imposed on me by Article 3 of the Constitution to respect, defend and uphold the Constitution in guiding the proceedings of the House. On one hand, the Minority Party has met all the procedural requirements to effect a change of its leadership. On the other hand, I am confronted by a court order that has specifically cited both the Speaker and the House as parties to a judicial process that seems to challenge an administrative process. Despite the sympathies I may hold for the predicament that the Minority Party finds itself in, this House has consistently demonstrated its willingness to abide by the orders of the court relating to the exercise of its quasi-judicial and administrative functions. Even where certain orders have been adverse to the interests of the House, we have dutifully obeyed them and sought to set aside the orders that we were not in agreement with."
