    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that the hon. Senator did not really get me correct. This is because I did not refer to what has been said in rallies. In fact, I was just referring to what happened in this House a week ago, when each and every Senator was trying to catch the Speaker’s eye to speak about the same things which are happening in this country. I know that everyone of us feels that things are not going the right way, but on that day – and Sen. Murkomen will bear me witness – people were really emotional, to an extent that some were calling for the resignation and sacking of others. But today I think that we have known that this issue is beyond just sacking of one person or sacrificing two people. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as leaders of this country, as Sen. Bule said, we really need to stop thinking just about ourselves, and think about this nation. It has come a time when we need not to think about which political parties we come from. We need to think about this country. When we come to this House, we are supposed to have sober debates which will lead to some solutions to the problems that we have. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was young, I remember very well that the National Intelligence Service (NIS) was working very well. At that time, it was referred to as the Special Branch. For example, you would be told that a waiter in a bar was actually an Inspector of Police, after she had arrested a wanted person. Sometimes you would even hear that a herdsman had arrested a poacher, simply because he had been identified properly. In the so-called NIS, quite a number of the officers now are graduates. But do we really require graduates to perform NIS work? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir---"
