    "content": "I want to remind this House that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) wrote to this Senate a few months ago and reprimanded the behaviour of two of our colleagues. It insisted that action had to be taken. It should not be an issue of selective justice. The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Act is very clear. We expect the EACC to take the same steps that they took in our case to reprimand the behaviour of the CS for Education. We must respect each other. Respect is paramount. There is no point of us serving in these offices if we do not show our children that we can correct people in a professional and respectful manner. I thank Sen. Shiyonga for bringing this Statement. This matter should be carried forward. I notice that my time is being limited yet you did not stipulate my speaking time. If this Statement requires action by a Committee, then the EACC should be called upon to investigate the CS and ensure that we respect the rule of law. We do not come to Parliament to pass legislation for certain individuals to cherry pick what to respect and what not to respect. These laws are important and mandatory for all of us."
