"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to thank hon. Dr. Khalwale for his great contribution. He has been hitting us in the elbow and telling us that what was going on was not viable. I thank him and the rest of Members. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a historic moment in our country. It is historic because we are now 4180 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 17, 2008 on the path of redeeming ourselves in what we failed before. We have a chance to give this country the way forward so that, the poor can feel that they are part of this nation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I personally gave my chance to a colleague because I saw that it was fit to move forward instead of haggling over that position. As we move forward, we should give our country a chance to heal, and I feel that compromise is the way forward for us as a nation. As the Members of this Select Committee face the challenge of trying to get us a Commission that will be ready to serve this country, I beg them to be independent, diligent, open-minded, to resist tribal temptation and the brother and sister syndrome. Let this Tenth Parliament paint this country in good light and make our Parliament proud. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
