    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really have a lot of respect for what you have said. Now that you have given that ruling, we will abide by it. You have also exonerated the House to an extent whereby you said we will do so to follow the procedure. Maybe, you would have gone a bit further and exonerated the House from my concerns of the future. It is a reality that one day somebody will move to a court of law and annul all the 46 laws plus others that may come. Somebody could challenge them in a court of law even if it is not in our lifetime. Therefore, those laws could very easily be null and void and, therefore, a waste of time. In my thinking, it is good that you should also exonerate us from the blame that may come one time because we have passed some serious laws, including some that affect county governments. It is not only the ones concerning physical planning which would have huge reverberations if they are annulled in future when actions that were inspired by those laws are already in force. If there would be any blame that could fall, it is good that it falls knowing and being clear in our records that, indeed, we had already sounded the alarm very clearly as you exonerate us now. Thank you."
