    "content": "the governor to be impeached and that will be brought into this House. So, it would be very difficult to deal with such matters. Finally, I wish to point out the following: Even as it has been stated that there were contracts that were awarded without following procedure and contracts in respect of contractors that are not listed, no list was provided by the auditor, a list of contractors that are registered under the relevant law. It was just something that was stated and it never occurred to that House that they were shown any list. The benchmark here would be that; look at the governor, knowing that you are a quasi-judicial body. You are actually acting in your quasi-judicial capacity and not in your legislative capacity. Even as you vote, I would urge you to vote with conscience and remember that under Section 149(2)(d)(f) is where matters touching on finance and responsibility are provided. Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, I would like to mention, and it is just as a matter of courtesy, with due respect to this House, that this is a matter that was commenced when there were court proceedings. Therefore, we are here without prejudice to the matters that are before the court. Our position is that while acting as a quasi-judicial body, under Article 165, paragraph 6, you are a body whose Report will be subject to the High Court’s determination. That is all. Thank you very much."
