    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me add my voice to those who have wished you well in your new appointment. I think it will be a challenging appointment. You will use soft power. You are not going to use the power of the law or the power of our Standing Orders. You are going to go deep into traditional powers. However, I am sure you are going to use the part of your brain that is not what you have been using either on the bench or in this House. That part is going to be very useful in the next segment of this Parliament where we are going. That is where I think contention is going to be the order of the day, grandstanding is going to be the order of the day and truth will sometimes be lost in between. With that appointment, I think you have to marshal all those faculties, bring them together and I think they are certainly going to be extremely timely where we are headed. In addition, I am sure you are up to the task and I wish you well in that discharge. The second thing, it will be quite brief, I want to add my voice of congratulations to Hon. Kalasinga for being a Member of Parliament in this National Assembly. I will say the other bit when that next Member of Parliament comes. I think this has been a momentous weekend. However, I would like to urge my fellow colleagues that the fault is not only a fault when you see others. See yourself. We are part of the problem of violence in elections. Therefore, we ought to be honest with ourselves. We ought to set standards devoid of what we are thinking inside and let us hope that those standards are objective enough and can be followed by all of us. With those few remarks, I want to thank you Hon. Speaker"
