    "content": " I apologise and withdraw, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, that was good comedy. Let me go back to the Petition that you have just read about creation of additional offices, that of the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and the Official Opposition Leader. We are brought into a situation where we are coming up with piecemeal amendments of our Constitution. Just under a fortnight ago, we were debating about the entrenchment of the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) into our Constitution and today we are talking about additional offices in our Government. All these were amicably addressed by the BBI that was fiercely fought by my colleagues across the aisle. This matter went all the way to the Supreme Court and was torpedoed at that point. I do not know where that Petition is coming from, but those in power today did indicate that the intent was to create offices for dynasties. Today, we are talking about the same things that ought to have been cured a long time ago. The offices were well intended. Today, we are talking about GMO, but there is nobody in this House to address our plight on the same. We are talking about drought in the country, we are ravaged by several disasters and people are hungry. We have nowhere, there is no recourse and we do not have a Prime Minister who ought to have answered all these questions at the right time."
