"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to support this Motion. As I do that, I would like to re-emphasize the value of vetting. It is obvious that it has come to our attention that vetting is crucial. I would like to bring out what I think vetting is. To me, vetting is not just an exercise in futility. It is what establishes oneâs academic credentials, integrity, goodwill within the civil society and the public in general and good will within the private sector. The Judgesâ and Magistratesâ vetting will be one of the biggest reforms that we will be undertaking as a country in the new Constitution. What we are going through now is unfortunate but I believe that a job not done well must be repeated. I do believe that we are going to repeat because of the mistake that has been made by the Government. I believe that by the Government bringing this Motion before the House, it is an indication that they are willing to relook at the mistakes they have made. The Ministry of Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs must continue to be vigilant. I want to say that history will judge the Ministry well or harshly depending on how we are able to establish judicial mechanisms in this country. It is always a person within this Ministry that has to remain vigilant. Therefore, I commend the Minister for remaining steadfast in keeping to the letter of the law because we do not want to cry in future that we made a mistake when we had somebody who was capable sitting in that office."
