    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I support the proposed Bill. Corruption has been one of the biggest problems in the country, but the problems in fighting corruption have been systemic. They have been systemic because each of our institutions has failed. Prosecution, adjudication, investigation, our culture and all our institutions have failed. While we strengthen this particular institution, and I want to speak to the constitutional roots for this institution which I think have been misunderstood especially in the drafting of this Bill. It is important to understand that we will finally slay this monster by reforming all our institutions by ensuring that all our courts are reformed, our prosecution is first class and by ensuring that all investigatory authorities do their duties. The fact that we have an anti-corruption entity is a realization and an acknowledgement that our institutions have failed. If the police did their bit, the courts did their bit and the prosecutorial authority did their bit, there would then have been no reason to have a specific entity dealing with this. This was really an emergency treatment. The fact that we have an entity specifically dealing with corruption issues was a realization that we have this problem and the primary institutions to address these problems have not dealt with it. It is important to move from that emergency treatment to moving the patient from the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to the High Dependency Unit (HDU) and, finally, to the normal ward, so that our primary institutions ultimately take responsibility for this matter."
