    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to support this Motion. In doing so, if Hon. Obura will listen, let me give a little history of the suicidal votes that have been taken in this House. The first one was the enactment of the Preservation of Public Security Act. Those who emotionally supported that Act turned out to be victims of that very Act and it was a major agenda during the liberation reforms. The next suicidal vote was the enactment of Section1 (A) of the Constitution. Those who enthusiastically supported it found themselves locked under the single party rule to their detriment and some ended in detention. So, before you cast any suicidal votes in this House, be careful. Those past ones that I have cited were passed before the Bill of Rights was adopted as part of our Constitution. Now we have the protection of that Bill of Rights that allows many other things that were not there before. I wish to say that the clause that gags Parliament out of recommendations of a committee The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
