    "content": "I want to congratulate the Minister for this. I think we are in times of reforms. There is no point of talking about reforms and there is no practice. You talk a lot out there about reforms and so on. I think this is a milestone if we can be able to change the law, and also be able to implement or enforce it. I just want to refer to what hon. Wetangula was talking about - the times of Tudor Jackson. That is because when we were at the Architecture Design and Development (ADD) faculty, he also taught us some elements of law. I thought I knew a lot of law. Every time, I thought that the law will protect you and it looked very simple. It looked like the law was very straightforward and it could protect you. There were issues to do with tort and nuisance. But the law does not protect us even on very clear issues. I think it is because of what we are talking about; the issue of corruption and greed. But that greed comes from ourselves. I think if the leadership cannot behave the way I have seen it behaving in our society, then I think the lawyers will also behave well. I believe it is not really a matter of training. I think it is a matter of how people conduct themselves outside, when they leave the training places. The ethics are not there. I hope the changes that we are making to the law now will put some ethics in the heads of our people."
