    "content": "Today is a big day. I want us to break early and celebrate because we have achieved what seemed very impossible. It is good to accept what our leaders say. It is good that we can legislate and change any law. Hon. Speaker, in your ruling yesterday, you said that we are at liberty to even change the Constitution itself. We could have made changes to this Bill, but we did not do so for the sake of the country, so that there is peace and understanding, through the advice of our leaders who I thank very much. It is good that we swallowed our egos and obeyed. It is good for this country. I hope and pray that in future, whenever we have difficulties and competing interests, the Jubilee Coalition and the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) will engage so that we sort out those problems without taking hard positions. This country is more important than us. It is our country. If we destroy it, we cannot go anywhere else. We will also be destroyed ourselves. This is the first step. It was a matter of give and take. I want to encourage those who feel that they did not achieve what they wanted to, can bring back those amendments after six months. Since it is a negotiated document, I am happy that it has been passed the way it is."
