    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am putting this on record and no amount of heckling will turn this House into a House of legislative banditry or legislative piracy. “The purpose of this letter is to, therefore, to request you to reject any proposals to the Statutes Miscellaneous (Amendments) Bill to amend the law through a process contrary to the one set out by the Constitution and not to allow passage of any provisions in the Bill that conflict with the Constitution. I wish to point out that since the process being followed currently contravenes the requirements of Article 261(1) and (4) and Section 5 and 6 of the Six Schedule to the Constitution and since some of the proposed amendments contradict the letter and spirit of the Constitution, the CIC will be duty bound to seek court intervention in the event that Parliament passes the offensive provisions”."
