    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I want to say very clearly that truly, this country is in a crisis. We have had drought, famine and hunger and we are still nursing their effects up to now. Hunger has killed scores of our people including women and children like never before. We have corruption that is entrenched in every sector of this economy. It is a morass that we cannot get out of. It is very difficult to get out of this morass. Some people are saying that our economy is growing. What is growing when 60 per cent of our people are still living below the poverty line? We are being given fake figures. This is not the truth. It is not what is happening on the ground. Our people are hungry and poor. This country is divided into two groups of people, namely, the super rich and the poor. This cannot be denied. Then there is, of course, the drug menace that has really taken hold of this country. This 116 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES March 28, 2006 country is a haven of drug barons who bring their cocaine and other hard drugs here. It has never been like this before. The biggest thing that has happened to this country is the \"mamluki affair\". There are many questions that have not been answered. Truly, we know that some of these issues are undisputable. There are some facts that are undisputable. We know very well that the Standard Group was raided. This was not an ordinary operation. When you go into a media house, destroy property, disable everything, take computers and burn newspapers, that cannot be referred to as an ordinary operation. This is official thuggery! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the fact is that we were all treated with television cameras showing some white people and the Minister is denying that there were some foreigners among the raiders. We now know that some foreigners were involved in the raid because we saw white faces there."
