    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity say a few things about this Report. When the Committee perused and went through the details of this Charter, we found it to be quite timely, although belatedly. Many of us who have African heritage have been stigmatised and viewed as not being able to manage our affairs. If you will recall the 1885 Berlin Conference that partitioned and organised the scramble for Africa, they coordinated the rule for 60 years—the colonial rule. It seems that it is a permanent legacy or stigma; we have been independent for 60 years but we are still on the slumber of colonialism or neo-colonialism when it comes to mentality of most of the affairs that we do or handle as Africans. This Charter happens to be timely in the sense that it will institutionalise the foundation of African governance, elections and democracy. Governance should be entrenched in our society The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
