"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, my concern is that it has become a practice for Ministers to come and seek your guidance. The reason we have the Office of the Attorney-General guaranteed with security of tenure in the Constitution is that the holder of that office is the chief legal advisor. Before they come to seek your advice, they should, internally, refer the matter to the Attorney-General and seek advice rather than come and take the time of this National Assembly by requiring you to give guidance where the law provides for the Government’s chief legal advisor, including a Solicitor- General to advise them before coming to the House with an answer. Is it in order for a Minister to come and seek your guidance on matters that are within their knowledge as a Government while they have a chief legal advisor in the form of the Attorney-General?"
