    "content": "demonstrations that take our country backward. If we can invest money in education, it will be the most important way to transform people. If we have people without morals and values we will not move our country forward. Many vices are committed by rich people and that is why in this country, leadership is for the highest bidder. It is because of lack of values and understanding. This is better instilled from childhood so that people know that God is at the centre of their lives. We should have people who are responsible, respect public property and other people’s rights. If somebody is given a job to do that should be an opportunity not for grabbing but for providing service to humanity. If we are in the process of curriculum preparation, then this kind of religious education and formation of the people in term of patriotism and learning will help. We have values which are well described under Chapter Six of our Constitution. However, how do they operate? They are just there and not operational. This is also a concern I have about our country. We are religious people with very many denominations, but whatever people are taught does not replicate in our daily lives. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to end my contribution by congratulating you for being appointed to your new responsibility in the Speaker’s Panel and for being a moderator in our debates. Keep up and you will move to places. Thank you."
