"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad when we are talking to development partners and they talk down to us. When something happens out here, they talk to us as if their countries are perfect. Recently, I asked one of them whether an event in their country where human rights were violated was a demonstration of change of policy by their Government. I am not advocating that we lower standards. But it is necessary that our citizens and our friends point out where we go wrong. But you point out about the incident, not as though it is a change of policy. We can join them and laugh at ourselves, but at the end of the day, it is me and you who are called upon to clean the mess that we have occasioned in this country. So, let us rise up and do what is necessary so that this great country of ours may move forward."
