Nandor Tanczos MP - Valedictory speech

I give thanks and praise unto the Most High Jah Ras Tafari. I give greetings to all in the name of the Holy Trinity—the Almighty Father, the Divine Mother, and the Child that is love made life. I greet the members of this House for the last time as one of them. I greet those in the gallery, and I thank them for honouring me with their presence, especially my beloved Ngahuia Murphy.

Nandor Says Farewell

Nine years ago, no one would have expected to see a rastafarian MP. Nine years later, again, no one would have expected how practical and engaged the outsider and firebrand would prove to be. In typical Nandor fashion, he spoke from the heart, letting all MPs know what he thought of them and the institution he has served so well. Make sure you watch through to the timely conclusion.
