    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first congratulate the entire Committee for a job well done. Sen. Malalah, other than the fact that you may not have a legal degree, your presentation of this Report and your going through the charges one by one and analyzing the evidence, I thank you. You have done justice to this matter with the entire Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I want to say this without fear of contradiction; let us not change because of changed circumstances. I want some people on the other side to look at the record of what they have said in this House in other impeachment proceedings. The narrative is beginning to change, but justice can never change. The question that we should ask ourselves in this particular matter is whether we have done justice. Justice is not done by listening to crowds. Justice is done by going through processes. Impeachments were very popular in England. In fact, the last impeachment was that of a Governor General of India in the 18th Century. Because they found impeachments wanting, they stopped them. They were rendered obsolete. In the United States of America (USA), since they signed the Constitution in 1787, there have only been three impeachments, and no removal. This is because the founding fathers said that this is a tool that you use only in exceptional circumstances. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
