    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support the President’s Speech. It was a long and useful speech. In fact, he justified why the speech was long. Although he said he was tired, he managed to get across what he wanted through the speech. I was impressed with the president’s Speech on the economic situation of the country. He managed to tell us the past and the present; what happened before Independence and what his predecessors achieved up to the time he took over. He was convincing. At times, I struggle in my mind wondering about what I have been hearing, especially from those who do not want him. They said that in his second term he has not done anything. The President has proved those people wrong. I am sure if they do not accept that they were wrong in making the statement that in the second term the President did not do much, today, if they read the newspapers, they have changed their minds. So, I congratulate the President for his speech and for what he has done. I recognise that he is operating under a difficult situation in his second term. The COVID-19 pandemic is there fighting what he was trying to do and what he had done. People were suffering but he still recorded the achievements that he narrated to us. I congratulate him on that. On politics, especially on his comments on the Building Bridges initiative (BBI), he mentioned those who missed that opportunity and comforted them with a remark that we may still have the BBI so that that opportunity does not go away. The one man, one vote and one-shilling arrangement was a big opportunity for those who rejected the BBI. I am sure if the BBI comes back, they will support it wholeheartedly because that will be the beginning of fairness to everybody in this country. Thank you."
