    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is my considered view that if, indeed, there are reasons why a candidate who ranks top is rejected, I think those reasons must be laid on the Table of this House. If we go back to the dark days when people could make decisions behind closed doors to jail or detain some people, then I fear all the efforts and passions that many of us, including yourself, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, put to liberate this country, will be for nothing. If a candidate is to be rejected, then the reasons for such a rejection must be put on the table. The whole idea of public participation and open interviews is to achieve fairness. It is not for us to use excuses to do otherwise."
