    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity to join my colleagues and make some contribution. Firstly, let me support the Motion and extend the same support to the Mover of this Motion. I would also like to thank the Attorney-General and the Chief Justice for the participation they had at Uhuru Park. Their participation was very crucial in the smooth running of the promulgation ceremony. I would also like to thank the President and the Prime Minister for the historic speeches they made during that ceremony. The President made a very inspiring speech while the Prime Minister made a remarkable speech. I would urge the two principals to continue working and planning together in the interests of our people in this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would also like to congratulate Mr. PLO Lumumba, who has been appointed to a new position, and urge him to make sure that the mega scandals that we have seen in this nation are stemmed. We would also like to see the economic crimes committed in this nation eliminated. I would also like to congratulate Prof. Kamar who has been promoted from the Speaker’s Panel. This is really critical in the history of this nation. I would also like to commend the new addition to the Speaker’s Panel, of Dr. Laboso. She has started so well, and I hope she will continue in that spirit. I would also like to commend the President of this country for assenting to the four Bills that emanated from this House. Concerning the promulgation ceremony at Uhuru Park, we noted with some kind of disappointment the heckling culture that was perpetuated that day. It is vivid in our mind that the second President of this nation, who happened to have been taking part in the ceremony, was heckled. This is not a healthy culture. This behavior must be discouraged completely. I would like to thank the Speaker of this National Assembly for conducting the second swearing in of Members of Parliament. This was very unprecedented and the whole ceremony was conducted very smoothly. I would also like to thank the foreign leaders who graced our occasion at Uhuru Park. These were President Museveni of Uganda, President Karume of Zanzibar, the President of Comoros Islands, President Al Bashir of Sudan, former President John Kufuor from Ghana and Kofi Annan, who chaired the panel of prominent African leaders; he steered our nation to our very harmonious new Constitution."
