"content": "I wish that the Deputy Speaker could hear this. If we decide that we do not want to continue prosecuting business from the National Assembly, we must also be ready for more Bills to be signed by the President without any reference to us. This means that we must pursue the court case vigorously. Perhaps it should be the only business that we will deal with until order and decency is found in this presence. If that is the decision that we will make, I will support the decision of the House 100 per cent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to show that I am willing to go that direction, I propose that I proceed with this Bill, but we do not put the question and go to Division of the Second Reading. If it is agreed, we will go on recess from Thursday. That means that we will revisit this matter in February. Between now and then, you and we shall make a decision on what to do. That means that no Private Member’s Bill in this House should be debated until we get an outright concurrence from the Speaker of the National Assembly. That is usually the mischief used to perpetuate a narrative that this House is not ready to do its own business."
