"content": "takes the mainstream party leaders to come together so quickly and they are only three or four fellows and get this kind of thing agreed upon, why did we have to do this in this House? Why did we not have just an assembly of elders with four or five party leaders to make decisions? It will be less costly. Probably that will be for another day. As I conclude on the issue of the Election Offences Bill and the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill, the role of Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) ought to be more proactive. The DPP should pick up cases that need to be prosecuted. We have too many cases and as a result we ignore Chapter 6 and nobody seems to care about it. We find small faults and they are not followed through until there is some noise. Even on corruption, it is only when the President made noise in this Assembly that the DPP woke up for a while. Now, it is quiet and we should remember that little things are the ones which accumulate. All in all, we have had a successful Session in this House but with very many pending Questions."
