    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am also happy to join in thanking the President for the Speech that he made to this House together with the Senate. I think in terms of the things that he raised which were extremely important, security in relation to national values is paramount. I want to congratulate the President for trying to unpack the national values in Article 10 which are really quite extensive on matters of equality. However, if you look at the way he handled security I think that the President still needs to get for himself a special adviser on matters of security. That will be the only way that he will be able to deal with these matters in a deeper way. We still have many problems of security in our country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the President for making it clear that his Government supports women and I want to urge our colleagues here that just like the Garden of Eden where Adam was created and God was not satisfied and thus provided Eve, in our leadership we are going to need Adam and we are going to need Eve. In this House, we need Adam and Eve. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the women in this Assembly are playing their role in leadership as God indeed intended and as the President has made it clear that his Government will not be bringing any constitutional amendments. I want to support the Speech and the Jubilee Government on the economic agenda. He said that we are growing at six per cent. Part of the reason we are complaining about this country is because the cake is very small. What we all need to do is bake a larger cake. I wish this House would abandon the discussion on constitutional review because we were to finish the political kingdom and look after the economic kingdom. What we need to do is to look at our laws and bake a bigger cake that we can all share in bigger portions. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
