    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a good day that we hear such noble words from the hon. Member who has petitioned on behalf of hon. Seroney and hon. Shikuku. For us who were old enough at that time, it was a period to reckon. There was gagging of the people of this country not to speak anything about the truth and even in areas where immunity was provided, for example, Parliament. It is a shame that this country has lived with. It is a shame that this country needs to wash itself so that this House can be clean again. It is unfortunate that this House might be tempted to pass, as it has already done, some constitutional laws that if misused, could lead to gagging of Members of this House and give precedence to the Press to quote hon. Members out of context to the extent of even being incarcerated in police cells. I am one of those people who have suffered that fate. It is very unfortunate that this House has to remove the freedom of speech the same way Messrs. Seroney and Shikuku were denied this noble present that is God given. I strongly support this Petition."
