    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I was emphasising, what we need in our country are institutions that are strong and can provide checks and balances that are needed to ensure that those people who are in power manage the resources of this country for the benefit of our people. Therefore, it is quite appropriate that the Mover of this Motion be given permission to bring a related Bill, so that we can create the proposed institutions. I emphasised that there are no angels among people who govern countries. It does not matter which country we are dealing with. What makes countries strong are the institutions that are put in place to ensure that even the weakest among us can provide good governance because we are following the laid down rules and regulations. We all know that is one weakness we have in our system. That is why sometimes, we are shocked when we hear that resources of this country are given away to people we do not know. Sometimes, the resources are even returned by people we do not know because there are no institutions to ensure that no resources of this country go out without being controlled. For that reason, I want to support this Motion and I hope we will have an opportunity to discuss a detailed Bill that will ensure that a strong institution is put in place. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
