    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to second the amendment. This country believes in the separation of powers. We are talking of Civil Case No.2931 of 1997 and the matter went to the High Court. It was later taken before the Court of Appeal. Therefore, I support the amendment on the premise. Since this matter has gone to the highest court in the land, there is, therefore, no point of seeking the advice of the Attorney- General on the matter because it is less judicata . It was dealt with by the court and finalised. Under the doctrine of separation of powers, Parliament cannot, perhaps, indulge itself to entertain the revival of the matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, simply for that reason, I do second."
