    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Two things; One, I do not know why my colleague and friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, would want to pick and choose on court rulings. A precedence has been set in the court on the matter of suppression of powers and he has quoted it; ‘No court can injunct a Parliament in its deliberative roles’. Preliminary Objection No.1; everybody agrees it falls on its face. Preliminary Objection No.2; what the lawyers on both sides are asking these judges here to do is a very complicated matter. It is a matter of determining a fraction of a human being. What is 0.3 per cent of a human being? Is it the head? What is it? However, again, the courts have pronounced themselves on that matter. In the case of Tana River County, they have said that in a matter like this, then you round off to the nearest whole number, which is 31. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are substantive matters for determination in this Motion that this House needs to be engaged in. If you ask me, as Sen. Cherarkey has said, the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
