"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I want to support the Presidentâs Speech which has generally outlined the policy issues that he wants the House to handle. I want to focus on the much talked about reforms in this country. We should ask ourselves why we need reforms in the first place. We need reforms because the world around us is doing its business differently. We cannot afford to use the same old skills, styles and apply outdated laws to run the country today. We are seeing the level of poverty increase in this country because we are using old tactics to do current things. This is completely unacceptable. Unless we move forward as a House and take charge of the reforms in this country, I fear that there is no goodwill from whoever we expected to take us through. There is no goodwill from the Government to carry out reforms in this country. You will be surprised at how we have handled the issues affecting some parts of this country."
