Hon Speaker, we sit here as representatives of the people of our country. [Interjections.] Now, let me deal with that. You say that you want us to establish a judicial commission. I have no interest, as President of this country, to appoint judicial commissions that will waste taxpayers' many for nothing. [Applause.] That I will not do.

Now, we sit here as duly-elected members of our Parliament to advance the interest of those people who have elected us.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC: We, all of us, have a responsibility, particularly in the months that remain in the term of this Parliament and this administration to do everything within our means to fulfil the mandate given to us.

We still confront huge challenges and difficulties
