    "content": "Mr. Speaker, I believe the question was about whether there has been a complaint with regard to Ground No.8. Any report to the relevant authorities. I believe there was a question about whether the Deputy President has been subjected to any prosecution for money laundering or related offences. We are not aware of any complaint under Section 132 of the Penal Code to the police or any other relevant authority. Equally, we are not aware of any prosecution that the Deputy President has been subjected to. Nonetheless, we will be showing you during our opening and closing. It is immaterial whether there has been such a complaint or prosecution because when we get there. We will be showing you the Supreme Court has said times without number. The Court of Appeal has said times without a number. That impeachment is about political hygiene. It is about political responsibility. It is not about whether there is criminal liability or civil liability. We will be hoping we can persuade with lots of humility that nothing turns on whether, as a matter of fact, complaints have been launched or prosecutions have ensued. Those are not my words. They are the words of our Supreme Court, not once or twice, but several times. Thank you."
