    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to oppose this Motion. We are trying to forget about the past, but something happens that reminds us about it. The appointment of Justice Ringera without the advice of the Advisory Committee and before the period of appointment is ripe, reminds me of what happened on 30th December, 2007, when the President was sworn in at night. This is the same thing that is happening. We want to forget about this but we are reminded by these kind of events. Justice Ringera is being appointed prematurely before the Advisory Committee gives any views. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have seen a lot of hypocrisy today. The Members of Parliament are saying that they want to go home. If you are a sincere person and you go home, the first question you will be asked by the electorate is: “How was Justice Ringera appointed and yet you were in Parliament?” We will be asked this question, unless we are the type that does not go to the constituencies but are now pretending that they will go there. If you will go to the constituency, you will be asked that question. How did Parliament allow this to happen? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because I know many hon. Members would like to contribute, I beg to oppose this Motion."
