    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Order, Senate Minority Leader. Resume your seat for a minute. I do take notice of the huge public interest in the matter in question. My own personal view is that any matter that touches on fundamental rights and freedom is a matter that is critical and weighty to warrant the attention of Parliament. However, the matter raised by the Senate Majority Leader cannot be wished away. The very issues on which the Senate Majority Leader is addressing us are the very issues which, to my mind, the appeal by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is canvassing. We should not be seen as people who do not take the law seriously in such circumstances. Irrespective of the weighty and the urgent nature of this matter, but also considering that this matter is getting attention in a court of law which has the final and more binding powers when it comes to interpretation of the law, I direct that we respect the Standing Orders of this House, in particular, Standing Order No. 92. Therefore, this matter is put in abeyance until such a time that the rule on sub judice shall not apply. So, ordered. Next Statement!"
