    "content": "It is not just a simple act of courage. I know the season we are in; we are officially in the silly season, where even to do the right thing sometimes requires to be assessed through the political lenses in this country. Therefore, on such an occasion, it would have been easy for him to sit easy and say, ‘does it appear like it will offend so and so.’ Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that is forgetting that primarily the reason we are in this House is because millions of poor people woke up very early in the morning to go and queue and send us to this House as their representatives. That is so that anytime when they have challenges such as this issue, we can rise up and speak on their behalf. No other consideration should be put or made before deciding on that very sacred duty. Therefore, it is an act of courage and honour by colleagues, who have decided to take up this challenge and speak up to this issue. It is a dicey matter and something that has irked the heart and soul of this Republic. As the representatives of the people, we will be remise if we just allowed it to pass under the carpet and say that we will invite the CS to come before our Committee and do the following."
