    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Article 222 which the Government based its decision on to introduce a Vote on Account, envisages that this House should have passed the Appropriation Bill and that the Vote on Account can only be given if the assent of the President has not been given. But be that as it may and having recognized that the court has made a ruling affirming the position which I informed the Government on earlier enough, I would like the Attorney General to answer these two questions:- 1. Could he confirm that the Government, through the Attorney General’s Office, and the Ministry of Finance, misled Parliament into legislating an illegality, by passing a Vote on Account which, therefore, compromised the watchdog role of Parliament? 2. What then would be the consequences of breaking the Constitution? How do we deal with the Government departments and Ministries which deliberately violate the provisions of the Constitution and break the law?"
