    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. I want to start with the visit of our recent visitor and our big brother, President Obama. When he was here he spoke about corruption. I remember him vividly saying that if you are employed in the public service and you start accumulating wealth say, you buy a new car, a new House and yet people know your payslip, people are not stupid. They will know that there is corruption happening somewhere. Indeed, when President Obama went to Addis Ababa, he further quoted that there is nothing that will unlock the potential of Africa other than confronting the cancer of corruption. It is no wonder that when you look at the corruption index, the police are always at the top of the list. I know sometimes Members of Parliament also fall under that, but it has more to do with the fact that people think that we want to increase our own money, which is majorly because of our social welfare system of the big man syndrome that affects people in political office.
