    "content": "I supported the Deputy Speaker because I believe in gender. I do not know how other hon. Members view you but to me, within a very short time, you have proved that you are the best choice for us. I rise to support this Motion because it is very important. I also want to commend the Committee for taking these timely measures. We have shown others that we are not slow. But we are catching up with time because our executive President is a time- conscious leader. Hon. Speaker, I want to be very brief. The House Committees are very important in this Eleventh Parliament. We want the Committees to be focused because there are very many things that have gone wrong in this country. This Parliament must get on its feet to correct them. We have income-generating projects in this country which have been mismanaged. Most of them have either stalled or collapsed. Those projects could be the life-line to jobseekers. Due to that mismanagement, some people who were employed have lost their jobs. The hon. Members who will be appointed to those committees should be focused. They should be able to punish corrupt officers and stop the mismanagement and wastage of resources in this country. Those who are involved in that menace should be punished heavily. Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute."
