    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will be very brief. I rise to support this Motion because it is necessary. We really need to engage with our constituents. We need to be available to them so that we can give and share information with them. Those of us who are from constituencies that are seriously at risk, because of the rising consumption of illicit brew want to participate in the next 100 days when the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security will be implementing the Rapid Results Initiative (RRI)--- This is a comprehensive programme meant to ensure that we deal with the sources of the illicit brews and not just their distribution. We need to participate in a friendly and effective way, in support of the chiefs, the assistant chiefs and the DOs who are on the ground so that we deal with this scourge that threatens to exterminate a generation and, therefore, constitute a national disaster. But more importantly, as political leaders, we want to be there to tell our constituents that they have the greatest and most historical opportunity to cause a milestone that will lay the framework for new governance. They will enable women, people with disability, and the youth to say a strong “yes” to accepting change and reform in the context of the proposed Constitution. This country requires extraordinary skills, measures, courage and leadership to put it on a new template that will say: “Never again to corruption, Executive domination, ethnic hatred, violence, corruption, impunity and ethnic paranoia”. Therefore, I strongly support an extension of the sitting time so that we do what is necessary and patriotic. I beg to support the Motion."
