    "content": "going to accept to become a second class or a third class citizen in his country. Over time, these are recipes for revolutions. It is absolute nonsense today when I see people talk about one man, one woman, one vote, one shilling. You cannot any more get dimwits to advocate such petty things that you would not want to be associated with as a nationalist. Somebody like that would want to become a president in this country. You think you are going to become a president and people are going to allow you to run the country yet you take them like your slaves or part of your colony? No! They will revolt against you and there will be a revolution in the country. There is going to be civil war. It is a recipe for conflict. And when that happens, there is no guarantee on who is going to remain in the country. In Rwanda, similar things happened. The ethnicity of every Rwandan had to be put in their identity cards, where they were called Tutsi or Hutu. The Tutsi were only 15 per cent. They endured marginalisation and victimisation from the time they got Independence from the Belgians until 1994. There were programmes and plans to wipe them out from the face of the earth. They were called cockroaches. What eventually happened? They fought their way, kicked out the oppressors from the country and that 58 per cent has had the reigns in Rwanda from 1994 until today. If you read the history of Uganda, you will see the kinds of things that used to be done to the Banyankole, the Bahima, the Bakiga, the Batoro and other people of the west. The conflict used to be between the northerners, who are basically Nilotes, and the Baganda in the centre. It was the Kabaka side or it was Milton Obote, Brigadier-General Tito Okello and others. Eventually when they could not endure, somebody from the north comes and gives them hell, another one from the other side comes and gives them hell. Basically, they were the punching bag for everybody. In a sense, the minorities in this country cannot accept to be a punching bag for anybody regardless of whether you consider yourself a majority or not. Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg you to give me five more minutes."
