    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. This Petition is very important and timely. When we were in university, we elected our representatives through universal suffrage and we had some of the most democratic elections. My fear, nowadays, is that during elections, there is a tendency by university students to group themselves in their ethnic formations. This is affecting the quality of representation that we have in universities. We no longer have university students who are capable of pursuing issues that touch on their members. We have university student leaders who are appointed by university administrations. I think as the Committee goes through this Petition, it is important for it to find a way of creating a system within universities where we will have student leaders who are capable of nationalising politics and pursuing issues that touch on the students beyond ethnicity and matters of that nature. Thank you, Hon. Speaker"
