    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of JLAC. At the onset, I want to congratulate the immediate former Secretary and CEO of EACC, Halakhe Waqo. He may be succeeded by Maj. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak who is also from a minority group. For the first time, we are seeing the minority groups succeeding each other. However, sometimes, the leadership in institutions headed by people from majority groups is succeeded by people from the majority groups. We have seen the contribution of the minorities to this nation in a big way. Maj. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak brings along experience, hard work, loyalty and professionalism. I believe he will also bring leadership. We celebrate individuals, but what is interesting is that we do not celebrate institutions. This country must move forward. Other than looking at individuals, we must look at institutions, so that we build them. For several weeks now, there have been serious fights between communities in my constituency. What we are seeing is the absence of the administration wing of the Office of the President (OP) - that is lack of enough police on the ground. So, it makes leaders to be frustrated. In the fight against corruption, when Maj. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak was asked on television if the current existing structures are adequate to address corruption, he correctly answered that they are not adequate. If we want to fight corruption, we must build that institution and give the CEO the necessary tools to carry out that task. Finally, as a minority, Maj. (Rtd) Twalib Abdallah Mbarak should be given the necessary support so that others do not use him and dump him. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
