    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was talking about the Presidential Speech and I am sure my good friend was speaking tongue-in-cheek. I was saying that this Government has done very well in terms of doing roads, providing water to people and even improving health care. It has done a lot but there is one fundamental issue that may endanger all those things that this Government is doing if that issue is not addressed. The stability of a country is the bedrock for any development and welfare. In fact, the future prosperity of a country depends on its stability. That stability also rests on the rule of law. If the rule of law is not properly observed, then the country slowly losses its stability and will enter into problems like the one we experienced during the elections. It is worrying if you look at the way the rule of law is being chipped away in this country as we go along. You will find citizens being killed by gangs and the police are nowhere to take care and enforce the law. Lives are lost and then, other criminals hanging around who see that happening realise that they can also do the same and nothing happens to them."
