    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been listening very carefully since the beginning of the debate. I had some Members indicate some fears. They were discouraging the idea of changing anything, including comas. I asked myself: “If Members of Parliament, the leadership of the nation fear to change even a comma in this document, who will do it?” We must rise to the occasion and make sure that we do what is right. There is nothing called pandora’s box in leadership. The sooner we open the cans of worms, the better, so that we can clear up because nobody else will do it. We must do it and do it in boldness. So, we cannot skip the phase that we are in by avoiding to do what is expected of us, unless, there is something somebody knows is hidden somewhere in the chapters, and fears that if we carefully go through them we might discover it and deal with it satisfactorily. It is our job to do so. We must thoroughly scrutinise the Proposed Constitution. I want to persuade all Members that the fear of the unknown should be out of the window when it comes to leadership and Parliament. We must agree to debate and two-thirds will win and the one-third will accept what the two-thirds have said. So, we must not be heard by this country saying we should not touch anything. We must touch it. This document is here for a purpose and we must do so."
