    "content": "I hope that the next Senate, the 13th Parliament, will allow liberals to also thrive in this House. The tenure of Senators should not be synonymous with the surrender of liberals. Those who are passionate in defense of the Constitution, human rights and ensuring that there is fairness, must be given room to thrive in this House. With other Members of the Justice Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee, we pride ourselves for having stood firm and tabled a Report before this House, in defense of the six judges who have never been appointed by the President. The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) had recommended that they should be appointed. Madam Deputy Speaker, I hope that in the fulness of time, the State will be convinced that it is in the interest of fairness and justice, that those six judges should be allowed to assume office as Judges of the Court of Appeal, so that they can continue to dispense justice. Finally, for those of us standing for various elective positions, be it senatorial or gubernatorial, I wish them all the best. May we have peaceful campaigns and elections. May victory come their way. Thank you."
