    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been destabilised by the objects that are moving in the House. They are used for certain purposes which are not to be mentioned in this House. I rise to second the Motion for the re-committal of the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) Act No.8 of 2015. The reason is that yesterday when we moved the amendment at the Committee of the whole House, there was some little bit of confusion with regard to the Deputy Chief Justice (DCJ) and the Chief Justice (CJ). The reference was made to those who retired in 1993 but the intention is for the benefits to be conferred upon the CJ and the DCJ who will retire after the promulgation of the new Constitution that was done after 27th August, 2010. That is the reason. We just want to clarify that and also to clarify who the CJ and the DCJ are. It was not very clear and we do not want people to go to court to seek interpretation in something that Parliament can make clear. We do not want anyone to go and ask what the mind of Parliament was. We can express ourselves and we can be very lucid. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
