    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to second the amendment. I want to say that we have agreed. As you know, the original objection to the list was that both parties had not accommodated, or taken into account properly, the gender issues. We, in the ODM, met and decided that we should make proper adjustments to accommodate that. We hope that the whole House is happy with the list that we, as the Whips and the parties, are proposing as amended. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for trying to make us move forward. What has happened this afternoon is what should have happened last week because I think the country has to move forward. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance stood here last week and said that Government Ministries were basically broke because Parliament had not approved the Supplementary Estimates. It is imperative that we, as Members of Parliament, work together in accordance with the spirit of the Accord. We came together after bloodshed. That blood has not sunk into the ground. I want to plead with my colleagues that we need, we can and are able, to rise to the occasion. We look forward to your leadership in the House Business Committee. I hope that after this, we shall retreat upstairs and give this House business. With those many remarks, I wish to support and second."
