    "content": "How many politicians observed that? It is until there is intention on us as legislature to show that we will go out of our way to reduce the influence of money in our politics, it will be difficult for us to fight corruption, which is the biggest evil that our society continues to haggle and fight about. This is not just about the political class. In fact, many of the beneficiaries of corrupt practices is those in public offices that are not necessarily political appointees, though people imagine that it is the political class. They are the ones who run tenders and do many of the Government projects. Perhaps what gets to the political class is a small fraction as compared to what remains with the rest of society out there. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those very many remarks, I beg that we take time to reflect as a House before taking a vote on this issue. I have noted that there are Members who have raised serious concerns about how to address certain issues. I will be notifying the Speaker on the same. Luckily, I have Standing Order No.66 (3) that allows the request for putting of a question until a later date. In the intervening period, we could take that opportunity to either consult further or listen to more memoranda from members of the public with regards to this Bill. I will inform the Speaker of this request by way of a letter so that we can make a decision on this issue. With those many remarks, I beg to reply. I request that in accordance to Standing Order No.66 (3), we defer the putting of the question until a later date when all these other things that I have mentioned have happened. I thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
