    "content": "I want to urge that the reason we were recalled from the long recess that is customary, was to come and pass this Bill. This Bill has not been sprung as a surprise to anybody. We all knew about it. I want to urge that all of us, from our principals, to fill this House at the time of voting and pass the Bill. Of course, I have heard arguments on the sides, that the Bill in Order No.9 should be realigned and should come first. I want to urge that you cannot deal with the Bill in Order No.9 unless you pass the Bill in Order No.7. This is because the foundation of the Bill in Order No.9 lie in the passage of the Bill in Order No.7. That being the understanding and case, we then must pass the Bill before the candle reaches mid-term in the life of the Tenth Parliament, where each one of us will embark on a political discourse at the expense of all other things. The time is now to pass the Bill and deal with the issues at hand. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a firm believer that those who disrespect the law must be dealt with within the law. Those who disregard the law must feel the full weight of the law. That is the only way we can have a country to bequeath to our future children. If we end up failing to rise to the occasion and give this country a tribunal, we are faced with the Hague option. You may take the men and women, that we hear their names are in the envelope, to the Hague. Well and good! They could be ten, 15, 20 or 30; those that Justice Waki called they bear the greatest responsibility. But by dealing with those that bear the greatest responsibility to these issues, you have not dealt with the person in the village whose brother or son was hacked to death or wife and daughter were raped and he knows by who."
