    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I also join the Members who support this Motion. I do not know Ms Moe well, but I trust the judgement of those who know her. I congratulate her on being nominated. I know Ms Dorcas Agik. She is a colleague in law. I know she has grown through the ranks in the Attorney-General’s office and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. She is a special one. During the tenure of the last two Attorney- Generals… I have experience in the other arms of Government. I was a judge and I am a Member of Parliament. This is a distinguished lady who has patiently looked into the law in different aspects. She has been in the civil part of the Attorney-General’s office, as well as in the criminal department. I know a lot rotates around the Office of the Attorney-General. We, as lawyers, are looking for a head of the bar who understands us. I know there is a lot that will come to this House that needs to be observed by the Attorney-General. He or she advises the Government especially on what is right and wrong in financial transactions. I join my colleague who said that we hope the Government will take the advice of the Attorney-General, but not the other way round, because it happens sometimes. The Attorney-General has to say things that the Executive does not like. We believe in the rule of law. We hope Ms Dorcas’ advice and the accolades we are giving to her will be of good meaning to the Government as it is today. The two cabinet secretaries are joining the Government of different political parties which will be a big challenge. We hope they will not go there to serve the party that appointed them, but to serve the country at large. Hon. Speaker, I support the Motion."
