"content": " Hon. Speaker, if you listened to me carefully, I said that members of the public have the perception that this House is a rubberstamp of the Executive. That is the perception of the public. Therefore, I will not withdraw my words. I have said that the only way to fight corruption and impunity in this country is through strong parliamentary oversight. The only way we can assist our President to fight impunity and corruption is by overseeing the Executive. When Montesquieu talked about separation of powers, he envisaged that there should be a Legislature, an Executive and a Judiciary. We should play our oversight role without fear or any kind of intimidation, so that we live up to the ideals of our role as Members of Parliament. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
