• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Let me conclude. Hon. colleagues, this is a historic moment. We, as a House, are seized of an opportunity to demonstrate our fidelity to the Constitution of this Republic. So, as you shout and seek to be influenced, may I remind you that even Nazi German had cheerleaders. In the aftermath of Nazi German, Martin Niemoller had the grace to say: “First they came for the socialists and I said nothing because I was not a socialist; then they came for trade unionists but I said nothing because I was not a trade unionists; but when they finally came for ... view

Indeed, if he has that information and the Government is grappling with collection of intelligence and acting on it, then he must be required to offer that intelligence to the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

I also wish the Deputy President well as he continues to face this challenge.
