    "content": "National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs ran to sanitize the Executive by tabling a non-signed copy here, which even had some pages missing. He signed them here. Yesterday is when he brought the copy from the Attorney-General with all the necessary pages and it was tabled here. So, the fact of the matter is that the Executive is sleeping on the job. If it is a question of falling short of the glory of God, the Executive has fallen far short of the glory of God. We are not supposed to sanitize them at all because we have separation of powers as the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary. Unfortunately, the Legislature here is in a relationship with the Executive in the sense that the Executive also sits in the Legislature. In the process, when we fail as a Parliament to pass legislation by the mere doing of the Executive, we are blamed collectively as Parliament. The Executive has hidden behind Parliament to continue maligning Parliament’s name by making us fear that the population out there will think that Parliament is not performing. The actual non- performers are the Executive. At this point in time, we need to give a clear warning that as we continue implementing this Constitution, the Executive wakes up to its responsibilities and deliver to Parliament the necessary legislation for us to pass on time. Otherwise, if we want this Parliament to be dissolved, we will refuse to this Executive’s bidding, Parliament will be dissolved, we will go home and go for the elections whether the IEBC is ready or not."
