"content": "If you read from history, we are aware that many of the societies that were a decent franchise and are no longer now living peacefully, it is because it started by the denial of economic and social rights. Therefore, this is a very important Bill because we are talking about something which, if we do not guarantee in the next five to ten years; with a bulging youth population that is hugely under the age of 30, a time will come where it will no longer be possible. People will even begin to see and build internal hate against leaders and those who are thriving in society. This is because members of the public will start to believe – and sometimes justifiably so – that those who are thriving, living a good life, are driving big cars can afford to go to private hospitals can only do so because they have stolen from the members of the public. I know that many of my colleagues have had the opportunity to travel. Sometimes, you feel challenged, as a leader, when you see how cohesive societies, that have guaranteed social and economic rights to its citizens, operate. There was a time when I was out of the country and I paid for a particular service. Due to the confusion that arises with tabulation when you change currency, I gave more than what was necessary to that particular officer, who was representing the company. He was a low- ranking officer, perhaps the level of a messenger in our country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
