    "content": "Members of Parliament. The other day, we saw the President in Sugoi driving a tractor and planting maize. So, what are we doing as Members of Parliament? I was in Sotik the other day and urged my people to plant maize so it can be sold to those people who are demonstrating. They did so very well, but the only problem we had was shortage of fertiliser. I can assure you that you will buy maize at a very low price in Sotik and that will bring down the cost of living. We have been told that the President and his Government are putting in place measures to look at the taxation regime to assist the people. There are unnecessary taxes in this country and I am sure we will experience many changes. We require patience from our friends in opposition and we must work together. I urge Members of Parliament to stop shouting at each other. We must discuss with sanity and stop shouting at people who bring constructive issues. Therefore, I stand to support the President because his Government has a plan. The only thing we need to do is support him constructively. If we have issues let them be brought to Parliament. I am a very proud man today because we stopped demonstrations by the other side and we are now discussing issues. I would like issues to be brought to Parliament for discussion in committees by Members. This country belongs to all of us and I would like to see serious discussions on how we can make it grow. I support this Motion and urge everybody to support it so we can move forward. Thank you."
