Hon Speaker, let me start by thanking you for affording this House an opportunity to debate this motion. We would like to say, Speaker, that it is important for us to accept in a democracy, even if people are in the minority, that they have the right to make their case and for that to be debated by the nation. [Applause.]
Secondly, we would like to say that it is important that whatever else we do, we do not lower the bar against which the members who are serving in the public should be held to account. In spite of our weaknesses and everything else, we have to uphold the need for a high level of morality in nation-building.
