    "content": "These days, leadership has become something like a commodity. Leadership is a calling. I may not fit the status of some of the leaders that have come before us. Anybody who comes to this House properly has come because it is a calling. I am calling upon institutions and us, as leaders, that we should have a conversation with each other with respect. Whoever is elected to this august House and other institutions, where people come through elections, should be listened to. The fact that Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe has brought this Petition, people should take it seriously. I am beginning to feel that sometimes people think politicians are just there as people who make a lot of noise. Sen. Wetangula who has travelled more than most of us, when an issue arises in Parliaments, even if it is a petition like this one, you will have rapid response to this issue. On this Petition, tomorrow, there would be somebody in the Executive trying to make responses to make sure that the record is put straight. However, in this country, until you summon somebody to come before Parliament, you will never get a response. When you call upon them to come here, they will not come. I am glad that both Chambers of Parliament are taking appropriate measures to make sure that those who do not come to Parliament when summoned are treated in accordance with the law."
