"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to begin by speaking on the matter that Sen. Wetangula had referred to earlier. On matters of violation of the Constitution, I totally agree that I am in the outer layer of the onion. What is the benefit of having power if it is going to be used to violate the Constitution? We said in this House that these things are temporary. We must be cognizant of the fact that when we are not here and not in charge of this business, the country must move forward. History must judge us positively. I agree that I am not part and parcel of those who are persuading the President to sign Bills that are unconstitutional. Secondly, I have remained true to the Constitution from 2013. I was part and parcel of the team that went to court in 2013. I led this House, together with the Speaker and the Senate Minority Leader, to court. Therefore, we have done our bit and tried our best. However, this is my take. Should we decide to stop all business that comes to this House---"
