    "content": "When we talk of the powers of the High Court, we know very well that there are certain levels of the court. When a case is within a jurisdiction of a certain court no other court is allowed to hear the same case. Sometimes when we have issues in the Senate, the National Assembly or in a Committee of the House, we hear of certain court orders which are issued with the aim of barring the House from discussing that issue. Sometimes those orders are meant to overturn the issues that are being discussed in this House. I believe that this Motion will discuss this issue comprehensively so that we understand what it means for this House to have the same powers as those of the High Court. This will then mean that whatever is being discussed here at a Committee level should not be dispensed with in a court of law. Those were the contentions I felt I need to raise as I support this Motion. We need to look at this matter comprehensively so that we know how this House is going to operate. I would like to thank the Mover of the Motion. I also belong to the Committee which was looking at this matter and I support this Motion fully."
