    "content": "The problem we have in this country is lack of accountability. Leaders are not ready to be accountable for the mistakes that they make or for the pronunciation of words that bring hatred and tribalism among our people. When this Motion goes through, our people will learn to be accountable for their words and also for the resources that are entrusted to them by the w ananchi. When you talk about good governance, you also talk about integrity. When we talk about governance, we bring the issue of integrity in place. Without integrity, you cannot have good governance. We want our leaders to have integrity. They should be people who cannot be questioned beyond their stand. They should be people who are ready to tell the truth, stand for the right and ready to defend the human rights of their citizens. When we talk about governance, you are talking about stewardship - which is taking care of the resources that the w ananchi have entrusted to us. Those resources should be used in the right way to help generations that will come after us. Without good governance in this country, our resources will go to waste. Good governance is taking the responsibility of using the resources that are entrusted to you by the people to improve their lives. Hon. Deputy Speaker, on justice, this country needs to come out clearly. Up to now, there are people who have not received justice in this country. Their cases have been in courts for years. This Motion is providing that those people must be given justice. Delaying justice is one way of telling citizens that we are not ready to cater for their needs. We need judicial reforms in this country. We need to eradicate corruption in the Judiciary. Unless we have laws that govern everybody in any office and ensure that they are responsible, we will not move forward. We should give justice to the poor people who cannot afford to hire lawyers. There are people who have been denied justice in this country because they are poor and cannot afford to hire lawyers.
