"content": "So, this is my proposal. We could stand down this particular business and deal with it on Tuesday when we come after we have submitted our amendments to it. Otherwise, the HBC never deliberated on it. We could then defeat it if hon. Members understood the import of it. We could defeat what the President is trying to do, but because the leadership that sits in HBC was not seized of the matter, we did not tell our hon. Members what was coming. We never told Members of the National Assembly. I want to plead with you, make a decision from your Chair, because the House Business Committee never deliberated on this. This is not what we want to do. We would have set a very dangerous precedent where even you, hon. Chairlady, somebody will wake up tomorrow, take you to court and you will lose your parliamentary seat. That is not something we are about to agree to."
