4. 1. But one
Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now,
because I've been to the mountaintop.
And I don't mind.
Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to
do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I
may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!
And so I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of
the coming of the Lord!!

A Report dated August 6 2006:
“On one hand there is this international recognition of the ___ Act, on the other, I find my own
government standing against it. It’s difficult to describe the situation,” he says.
The proposed amendments seek to exclude most “file notings” from the purview of the Act. The
amendments propose to remove access to the material on the basis of which decisions are taken by
the Council of Ministers, and withdraw the current access to the identities of those who record the
notings.
“It basically proposes to exempt all information related to a process of any examination conducted by
any public authority. The amendments if brought and applied will kill the Act in its infancy. During its 11
months of existence, the Act has made a promise of a better world where people are informed about
the system they are part of. No one can afford to lose from here. It is very important to get together
and fight for our right to be informed.”
