    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support and appreciate the work of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are getting into a two- house system after the next elections. That system will have its challenges. At the Independence, this country had that same system. But for some reason, maybe for challenges, the leaders at that time could not deal with; they turned the two-House systems into one, which we have today. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is great that our Committee has developed draft rules and Standing Orders that will make this country ready for the new system that we are going into. For that reason, I wish to congratulate the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since 2008 when we got this coalition Government, we have had serious challenges in this country. Quite often those challenges and problems found their ways to your Chair. You had the wisdom and steadfastness and commitment to deal with these problems. When they came here, you guided this House. You guided this country to overcome challenges which could have led us into some serious problems that I did not know how we would have handled them. Congratulations for that. I do not know what you intend to do with yourself after the next election, but I wish and hope that you will be on the same Chair, so that we use your wisdom to guide this country once more."
