First of all, I want to congratulate the new Members of Parliament represented here by Mr. Justus Kizito and Eng. Simon Ogari. I would also like to say that I spent a week in Shinyalu and I can attest the fact that Mr. Kizito was elected democratically. The election was very peaceful and I can assure the hon. Member that I will work together with him to uplift the lifestyles of Shinyalu people who are my relatives in one way or the other."}
