    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when we were considering this Bill, the whole focus shifted on the media. However, as we pass this law today, we are allowing electronic signatures. Big business is going to be transacted through our banks now. The ICT sector is a very big stakeholder. It is not just the media. So, we have opened the gates for very good business to take place in this country. I congratulate the Minister for that one big score. Secondly, I would like to urge the media to understand that we are not fighting them. We are on the same side. In fact, all the proposed amendments were accepted by the Government with 4056 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 10, 2008 the exception of one only. Let us work together because we are all in leadership. They are in the media and we are here. We have to work together for the good of this country. When the Press writes the kind of stories that we see in the newspapers, our relatives read about them in the internet and so on, we look so bad! Some people think that by doing that, they are doing a favour to this country. We need to work together just as we have shown here."
