    "content": "Therefore, the Government moved very swiftly to correct that problem. It fought the Shifta and that militia was crashed. So, I stand with my colleagues to remember this great leader. Those who have spoken before me also hailed him as a former Deputy Speaker. That is what I heard from Sen. Cherarkey. So, this is my former colleague. I really want to remember the work he did. Unfortunately, as we speak, when I became the Deputy Speaker of the Senate, I learned that there is another group of almost ten former Deputy Speakers, who are still agitating to get their benefits. It is a package similar to what is given to the Speakers and other constitutional office holders. Still, these Deputy Speakers are on the streets writing letters as Sen. Omogeni put it. However, nobody has listened to them. This means that if this issue was sorted, even the late Hon. Seroney and his family could have gotten support through this package because he is a former Deputy Speaker. I am not speaking on this matter because I am serving, but let the former – not even me but the former – at least get that package, so that they can also support their families. Sen. Cherarkey, this leader really agitated against corruption, misuse of power by the Executive and land grabbing. You can see at the end of the day, he suffered the same things he was struggling to rectify. As you put it, his land was given out. As other colleagues have said, the Committee that will handle this Petition should visit his family and his grave. I will be happy if you will invite me to also go and witness where this great leader lived."
