    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues who have boldly spoken on this matter in support of the Statement. It must be difficult being a leader in this country, particularly being in the legislature. This is because on one hand, you know what to condemn and, on the other hand, you want to defend the people behind these schemes. It is very unfortunate. Just because somebody wants to be defended, we should be very careful so that we do not look like we are not reconciling our minds with our hearts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious matter on sugar; it is an economic as well as a health crime. It is like terrorism, because to have sugar that is laced with anything that is not consumable is an attempt to destroy people. We should, therefore, not have any sense of sympathy with the people who are dealing in this kind of business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, for you to run for the Office of the President in this country, you need a lot of money. When you need that money, you resort to any means to get it, and that is the problem. Money decides who becomes President; and that is where we are going. Therefore, if you do not have money, you should not even try to be President.
