    "content": "underscore my position that we must uphold the rule of law in this country. Article 3(1) of the Constitution, calls upon us to do just that. Having listened to the Motions here, from the way the matter was conducted, we clearly had two Motions before this House. We had an application for dismissal based on the fact that there was no hearing and there was a preliminary objection based on the fact that there was a court order. So, disposing off that Motion when you allow evidence to be adduced, it morphed into a Motion. Having listened to what was presented, there was no sitting of the Assembly that meets the threshold in law. The Assembly has got a designated place where it sits and it has clear procedures to be followed. Unfortunately, the evidence before us is such that the sitting did not take place."
