    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this House dealt with the cases of the appointment of the Attorney-General, the Chief Justice and the Director of Public Prosecutions. The House was held to ransom for very long and the Speaker gave a ruling on the matter to the effect that where there is no consultation, a matter cannot go forward. This is a similar situation. The Committee has actually indicated, in its Report, that the Office of the Prime Minister indicated that two of the names they agreed to were not the names that have actually been presented to Parliament. The Committee has further indicated that the letter came to them two weeks later but nonetheless it came. They said that it did not go to the President because the Committee was dealing with it. Even the complaint that the Prime Minister gave last time came to the House. It did not go to the President because it was the House which was dealing with the matter. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those remarks, I would also want to add my voice that the Speaker should rule whether, indeed, this Report is constitutionally before Parliament, and if not, that it should not be submitted to further debate. Thank you."
