"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is not my work to make decisions for you, but Standing Order 80 which I cited, protects the conflict between Parliament and the Judiciary since the parliamentary system was established. The principle of sub judice, as I understand it and I stand to be corrected by the Chair, is that so long as the debate or issues before the Committee or the House would go to the merits or undermine the citizensâ rights to a fair hearing, then Parliament should hold its horses and wait for the outcome of the Court case. That is what I believe and I request the honorable Chair to rule that this matter is sub judice. The questions posed are more far reaching than the questions that the Committee may be seeking."
