    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise for coming a little late when this matter was already on the Floor of the House. However, right from the outset, I support the Petition. Having said that, we must remember the history of these evictions. It is important that it is put into perspective. No amount of shouting will alter the history behind these evictions. There are some born again Christians who, today, will speak very loudly about the issue of evictions. However, when these evictions started right at the beginning, they were quiet about them. I heard the Senate Majority Leader say that he is the one who can defend the CSs in this particular Chamber or Parliament and he could have defended them. However, it is the responsibility of Government to settle those who have been evicted and make sure that the rule of law is maintained. This is something which we cannot debate about. If we begin pointing fingers at each one of us, we will run into a lot of trouble. If we start pointing fingers without offering solutions, we will not be part of the solution. This issue is so emotive that you can see even on the opposite side, the language is different. They say they are prepared to speak on their behalf as Senators and not mind about whether they are part of the Government or not. For this matter to be resolved through this Petition, we must find a lasting solution. The Mau issue is so important that if you just begin to point fingers to particular Members or officers in Government, including the CS concerned, we will not be part of the solution. This is a matter which, if need be, we can summon CSs. I dare say that in this country, we are so fearful."
