    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to add my voice in congratulating my Chairman, Sen. Billow, a man of substantial integrity. I am sure, as Sen. Billow is sitting there, he is wondering whether we mean the words we are saying here. Usually, you find that when in such an occasion, you feel as if it is a funeral. At least in your own funeral, you do not hear what they say but at least here, he can hear what we are saying. So, I hope that all these good words going to Sen. Billow are well-meant. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just say one thing; apart from bringing back reports to the House, I do believe that as our representatives, they should also go there with our objectives and missions. One of the things that are happening at the PAP level is that an initiative that was taken in the early 2000 in New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD), is actually being relegated to the back banner. Our own President is the current Chairman of the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) but we are not seeing much happening. I will take the opportunity to give Sen. Billow my book “NEPAD, A New Path”, so that when he goes there, at least he will have something to refer to in reviving NEPAD and ensuring that our President, who is the Chairman to APRM, takes that job seriously."
