    "content": "I read a small article yesterday in the newspaper which said that as a people, maybe we need to accept that we are so corrupt and that through that admission, we then look for ways of correcting our corrupt practices. Right now, there is too much pretence and this Parliament must not be that institution that protects people just because we are of the same tribe, cronies or just because we have criminal records and so we want to hide them. The time to change is now and we shall not escape it. Lastly, with regard to all the vetting that may take place before this Bill takes effect, I want to plead with all the Commissions which are to be set up and the vetting authorities that they must comply with the Articles of the Constitution that require public vetting. The vetting that we have done so far, I want to say and I stand to be corrected, have been corrupted by a few people who sit in executive offices and pick their cronies and then come to lobby the Members of Parliament in a way that we are beginning to implement this Constitution on a wrong footing. With those remarks, I beg to support."
