    "content": "We, therefore, need to test young people who we are recruiting into our armed forces. For society to trust you enough and give you a loaded gun to walk around with, without abusing it, we must be absolutely satisfied that the young person that is given an arm that is loaded can use it responsibly for defence and protection of society. We must first test them and know that they have the capacity, capability and restraint to carry that weapon. That is why these days, you see so and so was shot dead and upon asking what happened, you are told that they were drinking in bar, an argument ensued, he walked to his car, picked a gun; came and shot the other. That is a mental patient, but we do not realize this. That is why we should now upgrade ourselves. Even as we prepare to go to elections, I wish we had a requirement that these fellows jostling to hold public office through elections are also mentally tested, because some of them are visibly insane. However, we do not have that requirement in law. In our legal practice, we used to have a judge who was extremely insane. In fact, we used to refer to him as “Judge so and so gone mad”. You would walk into his chamber as a lawyer going to present your clients case. As you stepped in the chamber, he would start shouting, abuse and then chase you away."
