    "content": "that has the powers to make, undo and amend laws. That power is not given to anybody else in this country. It is in the Constitution. It is same for our colleagues in the House of the Senate. Article 96 gives them those powers. If you, the leaders of Parliament, the leaders of the Executive and the leaders of the Judiciary do not sit, the end result will be a constitutional crisis or coup where every arm of the Government will decide to do whatever they decide. This will lead to a serious constitutional crisis. It is a matter that is very serious. Why do I say this? This House dealt with a petition in the last Session to set the process of investigating that Commission that will end up in the formation of a tribunal. Parliament, under the Constitution, did what was to be done through the process. A Member of the public brings a petition, a Committee of this House looks at it, a report is tabled and Parliament forwards that resolution to the Executive and the President is obliged by the Constitution to form a tribunal. That tribunal is yet to be formed or has been formed but it cannot be sworn in because of the issues that I am raising."
