The institution of Parliament occupies a very unique place in this country. As a matter of fact, Parliament, just like Caesar’s wife, must be beyond reproach because we have an enormous responsibility of overseeing not only the Executive, but also all other arms and agencies of the Government. When such negative publicity emerges on the initiation and execution of such an expensive project, what do we do to reclaim our rightful place in society as the institution of Parliament?"

Indeed, I have seen and heard Members who are pouring vitriol, scorn, anger, hatred and many negatives on this structure. Hon. Members, when you elected me as your Speaker, I communicated to you that I was going to ensure that this building – which has taken over 10 years – is completed and occupied. I have spent a lot of time and energy to have this done. For your information, since you elected me as your Speaker, there has been no Exchequer release towards the construction or completion of this building – not even a Shilling!"

There are five or six high speed lifts, all working as efficiently as any building you can find in Manhattan in the United States of America."
