    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I also want to add my voice to this great debate, first and foremost, by applauding our sister, Hon. Passaris, for coming up with a timely motion at a time when the country poses many questions. We ended last year with such happenings and began this year again with many such happenings. One question that continues to ring in our minds is this: What became of men such that people who are supposed to be protectors and providers have turned out to be murderers who slit the throat of others? Therefore, I join my colleagues in saying that those acts should be stopped and condemned across this country. We want to bring up a generation of men and women who have respect for human life and the sanctity of life. From what we have been seeing on social media, it appears that we have a group of people amongst ourselves as men who have lost the definition of men and are now no longer protectors and providers but beasts. I am sorry to use that word. They have become people who behave like animals. I, therefore, join my colleagues in saying that this should be condemned, and the Ministry of Interior and National Administration should take a cue from us and ensure that justice is served to families that have lost their loved ones. It is high time, as a country, we had a public inquest into all those deaths to find out what happened and ensure that there is justice, equity and fairness to the many families that have lost their dear ones. Dating is not a crime and, therefore, it is also not a crime for a young girl to fall in love with a man. I have a case in mind where somebody went to the extent of having a testing kit to ensure that the lady was not HIV positive. He went ahead and dismembered the body of the lady after having had a good time with her. That was very inhuman. I want to inform our young girls that never again will we allow them to be in secret relationships with some of the people who kill them. Let them communicate with their parents or friends whenever they go out for a date. This is because some people have turned out to be murderers. As a leader and on behalf of my people in Luanda, I condemn this and say that we shall support the Government when it comes up with a policy to ensure that such people are taken in. Somebody once said that if you kill by the sword, you will die by the sword. There can be no better way to deal with those people than having them killed. A motion should be brought to this House where we shall declare that if somebody kills, the best thing should be that he should equally face the law by having his neck also chopped off if that is what it will take to stop the evil things in this country. I support the Motion. I also thank the Member of Parliament for Nairobi County for bringing this great Motion. Thank you."
