"content": "Dear colleagues, I would like to pass sincere tribute to all the candidates who stood in this election. I must confess that I have the highest regard for all of them. They were all worthy competitors. Each one of them had something novel that they intended to bring to the National Assembly. I have no doubt that they are great leaders and that they all mean well for our great nation. I wish to encourage them by the words of one mighty Anthony J. D’Angelo: “You do not have to hold a position in order to be a leader.” You are already leaders. My victory is not for me alone but yours too. The Clerk of the National Assembly and his staff, I am humbled by the manner in which you have presided over this entire process. Hon. Members, especially those of us who have served in the House before will agree with me that over the years, Parliamentary staff have earned the trust and confidence of successful parliaments and, indeed, the nation. As the new Chairperson of the Parliamentary Service Commission, I commend you and urge you to continue facilitating hon. Members to discharge their duties with that very high degree of impartiality and efficiency."
