    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to make it very clear that the three arms of Government; the Judiciary, the Executive and the Legislature, in their functions, check each other. The Legislature’s function of legislative process, of making laws, is well stipulated in the Standing Orders and in the Constitution. The excess powers of the Legislature, both in the plenary and its committees, is checked by Article 115 on the Presidential Assent and Referral. The excesses of the Executive and the Legislature are also checked by an institution called the Judiciary that interprets law passed by Parliament and given assent by the Executive and more importantly has the powers to annul any legislation. So the President used Article 115 in totality in making sure that the excesses and the interests of the public, are taken care of."
