"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Chair's ruling should not be challenged by hon. Members. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to contribute to the Motion and Presidential Speech. The President said that the Government has improved quite a lot in the area of governance. While supporting views that have been expressed by my colleagues earlier on, for example, in the formation of the Government of National Unity, the Government has weakened the Opposition. Issues of governance have something to do with the promotion of democracy and democratic practice in the country and this House. By appointing Members of the Opposition with total disregard to the law, the Government lost marks in the area of governance by weakening the Opposition. Secondly, we have a bloated Cabinet. In other words, the President has enlarged the Cabinet while rewarding certain parties which are presumed to be loyal and supportive of the Government and, in the process they have weakened democratic practice."
