    "content": "Hon. Speaker, you have been very consistent in your Communications and reminders to us since you came to the National Assembly. Consistency is a virtue, especially when you are looking at meeting the dictates of the law. If we rejected Lempaa, who was as qualified as Dr. Kabue, why would we be going back and say that because this person is able or is this and that, then we should pass him? I say no. When he appeared before us, he was not looking for sympathy or empathy. He said that he should be treated like any other person. That is why I plead with this National Assembly to understand that we are not the Executive; we are the National Assembly. We are set up to ensure that the laws are followed. We know there is a Government and that the Jubilee Coalition is the one running the Government. However, where the President has been advised to do something that goes on the face of the law, we, as the National Assembly, must advise as such and ensure that the law is followed."
