"content": "and other world newspapers like The Wall Street Journal, to be accolades of parliamentary Committees; to recognize the procedures that elevate parliaments all over the world, to the level of recognition that the country is running in a good order. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the media itself is beginning to create an impression that Parliament is usurping functions from the Executive. We have created a Constitution with separation of powers. Let the Executive also demand its stake as required by the Constitution. I would like the country to recognize that the Executive that we have--- I am happy to see the Chief Whip drinking water. I do not know why he became thirsty after I started speaking. The fact of the matter is that the Executive has been extended under Section 3 of the Transitional Clause under Schedule Six and the Executive is structured under the sections of the old Constitution to be able to offer leadership to the country and, therefore, it is for the Grand Coalition partners to offer leadership to the country and to ensure that the Executive does not appear it is under attack. I do not agree that whenever you are challenging a Minister to take political responsibility for his Ministry, that alone in itself, is what you might call âwitch-hunt.â I differ completely with the Right Honorable Prime Minister to start creating the impression that we are targeting Ministers for the sake of political parties. With those few remarks, now that my colleague, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance is here, I beg to support. God bless!"
