    "content": "restored in this country. All of you have a telephone number of a senior police officer in this House. All the rich people have a connection. When a middle income person or a poor person is attacked, what number would they call? How would the police come to them? Omtatah, as much as people say he is an activist and all that, has a principle; he wants the law to be followed. He only goes to court. He demonstrates within his rights and he has changed it. We have 999 in place. His Excellency called the number. We, as legislators, are the people’s representatives, but we did not do that. So, they have their place and I want to say that when you have a new Constitution like the one we have, judges who push the boundaries of the law in support of the people are the judges who will make our laws become even better. But I am not talking of the ones who are corrupt. I am not talking of the ones who try to support their friends. I am talking about the ones who really want to help this country move forward. Therefore, for us, as a country, to move forward, which is the mantra of the Jubilee Government to move forward, we must have Equalisation. This country cannot afford the level of inequality, the level of insecurity and the level of empty noises that do not benefit the poor of this country. We were elected to represent the people and it is high time both sides of the House came together and put the Executive on notice, so that it can be focused and help the country on getting out of the problems that it has."
