"content": "Therefore, either House of Parliament, whether the National Assembly or the Senate, is exercising that oversight responsibility, the Judiciary cannot restrict it. Of course, the other responsibility that we have is representation. The Judiciary cannot purport to restrict our representative authority. Therefore for me, to answer the fundamental question you have posed to us on whether we should obey or disobey orders of the courts in this respect, my answer is so simple and may even sound simplistic. It is that no citizen of any country under a constitutional order can obey an unconstitutional order."
