"content": "Similarly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, a Circular from the President, particularly when such a Circular is addressed to Permanent Secretaries and other Government officers, is not a Circular that is directed to the work of Parliament under the Standing Orders, as I understand them. So, therefore, Mr. Speaker, Sir, my invitation to you is to accept the definition of what a Government is. That is because, apart from the generalized definition in the Act, we have a definition of the Government in dictionaries. One of them simply says:- âThe organization, machinery or agency through which a political unit exercises authority and performs functions which are usually classified according to the distribution of power within it.â The Prime Minister was given the power âto co-ordinate and to superviseâ. I was there when the drafting was done. That power does not include the executive authority of this Government of this wonderful country."
