    "content": "After the charges have been substantiated, there are several proceedings that are required to take place under the law. For example, the Governor must be given an opportunity to be heard. That is part of the proceedings. The charges are supposed to be read out. Those are the proceedings that are contemplated under this section. Any other thing that comes before the House like the communication from the Chair by the Speaker is not part of the proceedings under Section 33. If you were contemplating that the communication from the Chair is part of the proceedings, then you are reading the wrong provisions of the Standing Orders. So, what this means is that as we stand here, there are no charges, there is no accused person and there is no person who is being impeached. Indeed, the impeachment proceedings are no more. They are over. It would be very wrong on any matter before a House of Parliament, that you can completely gag the House and say that you cannot refer to it in any other way which is allowed by the Standing Orders. For example, if I found that there were a lot of typographical errors in the Report, which means that the Report does not make any sense, I have to point out and say, yes, it is not about the proceedings, but I am just looking at the Report which is laid before the House. Otherwise, the Chairperson would not have brought the Report in the House. He could have told the Speaker through some other message like the way the Speaker of the National Assembly writes to you a letter and you give us a message. So, I urge the House that let us read the law not in part but completely, in totality and let it make some sense. Otherwise if we gag ourselves, the public will not even understand what we have done so far."
