    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am almost getting defeated because I realise that the strategy is almost working out. I have worked very closely with the Leaer of Majority Party, and I know that the issues being raised are for the purpose of wasting time. Nevertheless, let me ask the House to consider this matter with a lot of sobriety. This is because we are making rules and creating a precedent. The Committee has looked at this and realized that so and so was the best evaluated. How do we reward merit? Issues about balance will be there. I think there was a time when this House came up with a way of addressing issues, and the lacuna that we have in law and the Constitution. When similar issues come up, there should be a proper way of trying to look at them; we should not deal with issues that are not expressly provided for and are not clear. I want to say that this Committee has done well; this is the time we must make a statement to this country. Every time we pass something here members of the public think that we do things for ourselves. Let us also show the Executive that we want to support them, but that we want them to do things in the right way, as provided for in the law, and nobody will have a problem with them. In any case, we support the Government; but, please, numbers will not make us do the wrong things here. I support the Motion."
