    "content": "In the ordinary course of affairs, judicial officers of any repute are very unlikely to be swayed by what is said in Parliament. In my considered view and in the considered view of Speaker Marende, in a properly functioning democracy with a sound and professional Judiciary, the burden of the evidence required to show that there is a likelihood of prejudice to the fair determination of any matter by the courts should be set very high, indeed. I do not see that this has been proved. That was in that particular case. But much more important, Mr. Speaker, Sir, Speaker Marende said:- “I take the view that as a general proposal, this House, in line with precedents from other similar jurisdictions, should not abandon a matter over which it is seized on the ground only that the matter has become the subject of litigation in a court of law.”"
