    "content": "In this country, we have a problem where we pass many laws that even the implementation becomes difficult and they just hang around. You are aware that there is a Bill concerning Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) that we passed sometime back in 2013, which has never been operationalised because it is impossible to do so. You remember the regulations about “Askari Rungu,” I mean the private security guards which we cannot operationalise because it is practically impossible. Let Parliament not become a body that legislates in futility. With those few remarks, I beseech the Hon. Member, who is still young with hot blood running in his veins, to relook at it so that we also, as elders in this House, can have an opportunity to scrutinise and fashion it properly. I sincerely thank the contribution by Sir George, which is in good defence of the proposer. However, he has now metamorphosed so much because when I was with him in the former Parliament, he was a very sober and objective man. You know absolute power makes people forget where they have come from. This happened even to Saul but on his way to Damascus, he changed tremendously."
