    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a believer but not a fanatic. I will say the following. This proposal was brought in intelligently and skillfully by honourable Members who thought that they would take advantage of Jubilee. They thought that Jubilee Members would come here and say that we should just move on. This is highly political. When Members of Parliament start talking political issues because these are just party politics and has nothing to do with what is happening. This is nothing but party politics. Unfortunately, Members are directing their party politics to the wrong person called the Speaker. The Speaker is supposed to be independent and respected. When we want to make our political speeches, we should look for areas where we can make those speeches. We should not use an honourable House like this one and an independent person, the one sitting on the Chair, to determine what is supposed to be done. I agree that this is a political House. The public is judging us as we bring issues that we had already exhausted in political rallies. You saw honourable Members of this Senate walking across the roads to the National Assembly to go and fight. None of us raised that issue. No action was taken and, in fact, it should not have been done."
