    "content": "Therefore, there is no better opportunity than to have CSs come to the Floor of the House and what they intend to do on some of the issues that they are implementing. For the last 60 years, we have been running in the wrong track and direction. It is in the wisdom of the President that he said that we must have an accountable, transparent Government that is prepared to explain to it what they are doing. In his effort to make CSs responsible for their acts, he saw it wise to make them and request us as Parliament to amend the Standing Orders to have them come in the House to explain what the Government is doing. This is what we are talking about. People are demonstrating on the claims that they have no platform to place their Petition. That platform is being brought to their doorstep in the House, where people will and come and explain. It is where Members can give their Petitions, so that we will never have other demonstrations in the pretense that we do not have a forum to present our Petitions. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thought that this would be a welcome move especially for the Members of the Minority Side because they are the ones saying that they do not have an opportunity. Just the other week I sat in this House with one of the organizations charged with generating power for this country. I could get a quorum to proceed with the Session because some people who claim that the cost of living is highly preferred to go and throw stones as if stones can bring the cost of living down. We can get the CSs here. It is a golden opportunity for us who do not sit in the Cabinet to give the wonderful ideas we have to bring the cost of living down without running on the streets, burning police cars and destroying people’s properties. We have a golden opportunity like leaders to address those issues. Everybody who is patriotic and nationalistic enough must support this move. This is because it is the beginning of democracy that is people driven, answerable to people, and leadership that has got nothing to hide, accountable and transparent. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
