"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we come here and take oath to uphold the law, there really is no room for sentiment. You have to do what is right by the law. It does not matter what personal feelings you have. In fact, I have a problem with the way this Motion was framed. The question as to whether there was a sitting on the 26th has already been answered by the Assembly itself. The Assembly has told us that, in fact, there was no sitting on the 26th because of the circumstances. That is the truth. Secondly, there is reason why I feel like this is a moot question. As a lawyer, I took an oath on 2nd October in 2008, to uphold the Constitution and the law. Impeachment processes are guided by the Constitution and the law. If a court of competent jurisdiction has said it does not matter whether there was a sitting on 26th or not, whatever happened on that day is null and void, then there is nothing to discuss. It is that simple. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for me, I am clear in my mind there has been a tacit concession by the Assembly that there was no sitting. There is a second limb that there is a court decision---"
