    "content": "Why courts in this country may be tempted to defy the edict of the highest court in the land, Supreme Court, regarding the need for judicial restraint from interfering with the workings of Parliament defies logic? Accordingly, I respectfully, but firmly determine that beyond peradventure, courts of law cannot and shall not stop or attempt to prevent Parliament from undertaking its constitutional mandate. Neither can the Judiciary compel any action to be undertaken by Parliament. I rule that any injunction interfering with the work of Parliament has no effect on Parliament in exercise of its constitutional functions. Such court orders have no effect on the National Assembly or the Senate or on any of their Committees, respectively. In the unlikely event of any such orders, Parliament and its committees shall proceed unabated, unfettered and unhindered, as may be directed by the respective Speaker of Parliament. Thank you for your patience. I had to discharge that duty."
