    "content": "the provisions that already exist in the same format. Other than that, I do not wish to speak too much on these having spoken on them quite elaborately. However, in terms of the spirit of our mandate of legislating, oversighting and providing the right systems, processes and giving effect to provisions on the broad laws and breaking it down for things that we can do in our legislative process, to hold ourselves and the executive accountable and perhaps to rectify wrongs be they legal; be they international laws that have been breached; this provides a very good framework that can be followed by this House and perhaps even by the National Assembly. I feel that this law should be supported with regard to the content like has been pointed out, definitions, public participations and the loop to finish what we started. I know it starts off from a Member of Parliament initiating a Motion. I wondered if there is any provision for a member or citizen of this country to initiate some of these processes or are we just hogging the powers that have been given and entrusted to us by the same people? So, is there any provision anywhere that perhaps would be looked into so that then this is a shared responsibility and accountability? As much as we are the representatives of the people, we can share that responsibility. I think it is about time that we supported it with whatever amendments that are to be made with regards to the feedback that has been given on the Floor of the House. I look forward to its implementation in the life of this Parliament. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
