    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to make a very brief remark. First, it should occur to the leadership of this House that they coordinate with the office of the President. The two occasions that the President has addressed us, he has kept us in the Chamber for too long. Parliament is a place where we keep time and it is important that the Presidential protocol is accordingly urged to respect time. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is a buildup on what Sen. Orengo said about the nation coming together. In the previous Parliaments, on the day of opening of Parliament, the judges, bishops and even traditional elders who used to pray for the country would attend the event. Instead of us picking elites of the Republic going for a very expensive breakfast in a so-called national prayer meeting, on such a day, we should allow our people to come and pray for the nation, including the spiritual leaders. Thirdly and last, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is my disappointment. When the President came and we received him very warmly, in fact, we gave him a standing ovation because he had moved the entire Parliament into commitment to fighting corruption. It is appalling that many months after him moving us, nothing has happened in the fight against corruption."
