    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to add my voice to those who have congratulated the hon. Ligale, the Speaker of the National Assembly, and all hon. Members who participated in one way or another, right from the planning to paying attention to small details like transport. Indeed, one may say that this Parliament is coming of age, as we are now able to host large international conferences quite efficiently. We count ourselves lucky for having able people like hon. Ligale, who have wide national and international experience to support us in such exercises. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do note that while it was widely attended, of the over 1,000 delegates, only about half were Members of Parliament. The other half was composed of people from Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and all manner of walks of life. I would have preferred if the ratio was 80 per cent Members of Parliament to 20 per cent others, as opposed to the situation where it was almost 50 to 50 per cent. This means that we may not be directly targeting the audience which the IPU should be targeting."
