    "content": "Very well, Senior Counsel, Sen. Orengo. You have said what I was trying to say in many words. I cannot be the one who sits here to preside over this House, trying to manufacture an injunction against itself, which is not there. In the first place, there is no injunction against the Senate. As we speak, there is no injunction served on us. I am a Lawyer, and I write so many letters. My letters are just letters. You cannot bring a letter here and say there is a court order. That is a lawyer’s letter. I cannot be the one to preside over the Senate trying to look for ways of injucting itself. In any case, as Sen. Orengo has said, we are of the opinion; and have ruled before, that the sub judice rule is not absolute on the Senate. The Sub judice matter has been used by people who have been fishing for alternative sources of comfort to actualize their agenda. There is no injunction against the House. Even if there was, we will still have to determine ourselves whether to proceed or not, in accordance with the law and the Standing Orders. Finally, I will allow Sen. Wetangula then we close this matter. We need to go to the next Order."
