I stand before you today to express my heartfelt gratitude to you, Hon. Members of this House, for your sacrifice, active participation and overall dedication and contributions during the recent impeachment Motion. This process, though challenging, exemplified our commitment to uphold the principles of accountability and transparency that are the cornerstones of our democracy. Your engagement and thoughtful deliberation throughout this process has not gone unnoticed. Each of you brought invaluable perspectives, ensuring that we examine the issues at hand with rigor and integrity. It is through such collaborative efforts that we can strengthen our institutions and reaffirm the trust that is placed in us by the people we serve. Notably, Hon. Speaker, this matter transcended party lines and spoke to our commitment to good governance, accountability and fidelity to the Constitution. I commend those who stood courageously for what they believed was right, fostering a discourse that reflects the values we uphold. It is essential that we continue to work together, united in our pursuit of justice and ethical governance. Let us carry forward the lessons learned from this experience, remaining steadfast in our commitment to serve the public with honour and respect.
