    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to contribute to this Petition. We are not just calling for the protection of the Abasuba, but their recognition. When that is done, we will be able to protect their rich culture, heritage and language. Before Sen. Wako spoke, I wanted to say that the Abasuba also have some Luhya and Ekegusii in them, other than just the Basoga and the Baganda as Sen. M. Kajwang' said. Sen. M. Kajwang’ seems to be a good source of the issues pertaining to the Abasuba. This Committee should consider tapping this knowledge. Recently, the Maragoli of Uganda were also recognized. There was a Motion calling for their recognition in their Parliament. Therefore, we will not be doing anything unique from what other countries – especially our neighbours – are doing. We also have the Maragoli across the border and they are also a unique enclave within that community. The Committee that will deal with this Petition should move very fast for us to deal with the issue of the Abasuba, once and for all. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
