    "content": "becomes corrupt. The reason why I support this Bill is that when you look at Article 43 of the Constitution, every human being living in this country has a right to a good life and has to be protected. However, our human activities; what we subscribe to in this country, it is special interests first and human dignity last. Madam Temporary Speaker, earlier this week, we were taken to a place by the Majority Chief Whip, who actually is walking, and I hope she is listening, to meet these young men whose dignity was being violated by certain people. May be sometimes it is because we do not have certain rights. These young people deserve the right to good housing. When you look at Article 43 of the Constitution which refers to the issues of economic and social rights, some of the things that we are discussing in this country today, which are projects that are being run down by corruption were designed to ensure that we have proper, clean and safe drinking water in adequate quantities. However, the media is awash with the stories of people using money which is supposed to provide that basic necessity for all the corrupt deals. When we stand here; we start pointing fingers at the investigating agencies and asking questions as to why these investigative agencies should use social media. I submit to hear that they do so because this is becoming a national crisis. The public out there must know that somebody is doing something to ensure that human dignity is preserved. The Mover of this Bill, Sen. Halake, who I respect a lot because of her contribution in this House, has really taken her time to ensure that, finally, we can have a law that we can refer to and ensure that Article 43 of the Constitution is fully implemented. It is wrong when we talk about huge projects---"
