    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will talk about the decisions of the Judiciary starting with the presidential petition to the decision about the jurisdiction of this House on Division and Allocation of Revenue Bills. We praise the Judiciary because they have remained consistent in making decisions. However, there are decisions we never agreed with. For example, how Gov. Wambora’s issue was handled. There are places of law of correcting those issues, either in appeal or application. We may never have agreed with the decision of the Supreme Court on the presidency, but it is the same Court that gave the decision on the Division of Revenue. You cannot tell us that ‘I love the court because they gave a decision on division of revenue that preserved my jurisdiction as a Senator. I do not like them because they made a decision on the presidential petition”. That is the hypocrisy that the Chief Justice was addressing; that we must remain consistence and be people of value. We cannot just cherry pick what we want.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
