    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also appreciate the opportunity to very briefly contribute to this very timely Motion. Let me first of all thank the Mover of this Motion. It has come at the right time. We need to engage. We need to go to the countryside in our constituencies and deal with our voters at this critical time so that we can consolidate their spirit which is geared to supporting the referendum that is coming. It is important that the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) issues new directives concerning those people with old identity cards. When they go to the registration centres, they are being denied the right to register. That is critical because it is tantamount to denial of democratic right. I also wish to emphasize on the new development that is affecting our country; piracy. This is a new trend that is affecting our international trade here and even denying the Exchequer a lot of money. The pirates who have been brought into the country cannot be accommodated in our courts of law. Therefore, continued hosting of pirates in our country also poses threats from other forces. Therefore, it is important that we call upon the international community very quickly to come and support this Government. This is the time for them to come. Finally, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I fully support this Motion for Adjournment."
