    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker for your considered and judicious ruling considering that you are the head of this legislature. It, therefore, behooves you to always give direction. In your second Communication, you mentioned a very important Article of the Constitution, Article 95, which talks about the role of the National Assembly especially Article 95(2) which says that the National Assembly will consider and resolve matters of concern to the general public. It has left me a bit confused because we have not resolved the issue of sugar, which is a matter of concern to the general public. Would it mean, therefore, that the National Assembly would be acting against the Constitution by not resolving this matter? I do not know how to handle that because I find it a bit difficult. I beg your wisdom as to how the National Assembly will carry its head high without resolving a matter that is of such concern to the general public, namely, the importation of sugar. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
