He knows very well that Judges are appointed according to this Constitution. When a Question is asked which is not within my ambit, but which administratively falls on my Ministry to answer, I go to the relevant Government department or agency. In this case, I did not go to a department which I can order. It was the Judiciary. I did communicate. If Mr. Speaker were to recall, the first time this Question was answered, I sought the answer. The answer was given that the swearing-in was cancelled because the processes were incomplete. I did not get any answer beyond that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second time, I sought the answer that I have given. Anybody implying 2678 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 24, 2007 improper motives on me without any reason or fact, can bring a substantive Motion according to the Standing Orders and prove with evidence that it is so. Let not this House be used as a forum to vilify people. I have a responsibility to answer and I have laid the answer that I got before the House."}
