    "content": "very good qualification to be a chairman of the Political Parties Tribunal. When we put lawyers, they will come with nice procedures, argue and so on. This is politics, it is not law! Unfortunately, many of us who are lawyers take such a long time to make that shift that politics is different. It is not procedural and things change all the time. So, I wish we had more politicians, more people who have served in offices such as ours, they would have helped us. When I go to a former Member of Parliament and tell him that certain people are “sitting” on me, that there is a plot hatched in the boardroom to deny me nomination, they understand that language because they know what we are doing. But a lawyer will ask you to give him evidence, produce tapes, SMS and so on. Then, they dismiss your case just like that. This is the first one but I hope in the expanded commission, when we do real amendments, we must think about giving old or retired politicians jobs. They will help us. I urge the House to have that in mind but for now, it is a good start and because we need this Tribunal in place, we support it. I beg to support the Motion."
