    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would also wish to seek your ruling and in your ruling you know that we are implementing a new Constitution and we are going to be setting precedence by what we do in this House and by what rulings that are made in court. What I would want to draw your attention to is what the provisions of the Constitution are, in terms of time lines. The President forwarded a memorandum within given time lines. If that memorandum is not in order and the President either amends or brings a further letter, does that constitute part of the earlier memorandum within the meaning of the Constitution? In my view, that is not so. What we also want to know is; can a letter amend a memorandum? Constitutionally, again, in my view as a lawyer, I do not think that can happen. I am calling on you to give us your ruling on whether what is purported to be done can be done constitutionally."
