    "content": "I have already addressed myself to the consequences of utterance and comments outside the House respecting the business of the House. In the particular case of the resolution of the House on the Akiwumi Report, careful thought need to be given to the question of whether the matter can be said to be pending or to have been disposed of by the House. While it is common knowledge that the Motion was passed, it is also clear that the publication of a number of Bills was required to follow and that this is still pending. However, it is also true that as the Bills have not been published, no such Bills are pending consideration by the House. The hon. Member for Ikolomani did not provide any indication as to the specific dates when the Minister for Finance is alleged to have uttered the statement complained of. This occasioned some difficulty to me as the Speaker is not to be expected to independently seek out such information. The Chair, as is known, should similarly not rule on hypothetical questions. Considering the importance of this matter and the public interest generated by it, however, I am prepared to find that despite the paucity of the information provided, the Executive owes the nation a duty to ensure that the Legislature executes its triple mandate. If the Legislature resolves that certain Bills be published, it is incumbent on a Minister, and in this case, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to facilitate such publication."
