    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support your ruling. However, in furtherance of that ruling, I would request that if the witness is going to be examined, he has to be examined on evidence because we only examine on evidence which is before us. So far, we have only heard submissions by the counsel which may not, in themselves be evidence. Therefore, in this affidavit, some of the first questions that must be asked is that the witness should, not only just adopt what is before us, but he should state that he is aware of the contents, has personal knowledge of the contents. Where he does not have personal knowledge of the contents, he has to state that he is aware to the best of the knowledge that he has, and he truly believes that it is true. In other words, it should go beyond adoption and say, “that is my evidence, and I truly believe in it.” This is so that it can now be the basis for cross-examination."
