I rise to support this Bill which is 50 years overdue. If this Bill was passed after we got our independence - which we got after the struggle that was made by our heroes - we would have selected and identified those who fought and sacrificed their lives and time to make sure that we got independence as a nation. This is an important Bill because it gives us an avenue to identify people who sacrificed their time, energy and effort on behalf of this country."}
