    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues in congratulating you for issuing that solomonic ruling. It will go to history that you guided this House and expressed your position on the issue of separation of powers between the different arms of Government. It is sad that nowadays we have a lot of interruptions from other arms of Government especially when it comes to the legislative procedures. Recently, the National Assembly did the Finance Bill. Today I have seen a Memorandum from the Executive wanting to reverse the resolutions of the National Assembly. In as much as that procedure is provided for in the Constitution, I think this should not be used as a way to arm-twist the legislative arm. Let the Judiciary perform its duty, let the Legislature perform its duty, and let the Executive be guided by the laws that we pass in this House."
