    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this matter. First of all, this is a very weighty matter and I want to thank Hon. Junet for bringing it up. A time has come where we need to pronounce ourselves in this Parliament. This is a matter that weighs on the doctrine of separation of powers and we must stand and protect our turf. The Judiciary is interfering with our internal arrangements, how we deal with one another here in Parliament, our internal processes and procedures in committees. This means that the Judiciary has lost track. As I can rightly recall, in the 11th Parliament, the Judiciary even went to an extent of interfering when the two sister Houses were squabbling. We know very well that the Constitution provides for mediation when the two houses squabble. The Judiciary went ahead and made pronouncements. As I can remember at that time, I used to sit on the other side but, as a lawyer, I felt that was an interference of our turf.
