    "content": "We are not ready to engage in this back and forth game of ping pong that is going on. On Thursday next week, we are going for recess. The Chief Justice said that this is a function of the Legislature and asked for a report to be filed within 14 days. Our Litigation Department and the lawyers representing you, Hon. Speaker, should make our contribution part of the report that will be sent to the court. We control our calendar and the Judiciary controls its calendar. In 14 days, we will come back to this Bill after we have come from the long recess in September. The calendar of the House is neither controlled by the Hon. Speaker nor by the leadership. For us to change it, we must bring a Motion to that effect to the House. So, we will pass the Division of Revenue Bill and convey it to them. They can amend it or kill it at mediation, then blame us for not being reasonable and hide behind a crisis they have manufactured; a crisis they have created. Subsequently, in the disguise of solving the crisis, they publish a Bill. For the Senate and governors, it is an enjoyable game because people find it fashionable these days to blame the National Assembly for not accepting unreasonable demands."
