    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I speak on the Motion, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you most sincerely for saving this nation by your yesterday’s ruling. The whole nation was watching and waiting for your ruling. You really did much. Whatever is pending must wait. The whole nation now is at peace. While supporting this Motion, I would like to remind hon. Members that we should be very cautious with whatever we say here and outside this House, because the whole nation is watching and listening to us very carefully. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to request all the elected leaders to ask themselves: Since the time they came to this House, as elected leaders, have their contributions and comments inside and outside this House been detrimental or have they helped to heal this nation? We are all aware of where we have come from. This nation is still nursing the problem we had. There is one thing that is sadly worrying. Although we are going to pass these Supplementary Estimates, we would like the Ministry to look very seriously into how this money is going to be spent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, right now, in my constituency, some people in some areas have been promised that they will be re-settled and compensated. They are still living in the transitional camps, waiting to be given whatever they were promised by the Government. The other issue is on security. I have been complaining, to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. However, whenever I go to them, they tell me that they do not have transport. So, I hope that after the passage of this Motion, money will go to the intended purposes, so that the Government can buy the required vehicles and provide security personnel with enough fuel. It is very shameful that when you make a distress call to a police station, you are told that the particular police station does not have enough fuel. The other issue that I would like to talk about is the Kazi Kwa Vijana initiative. Although this programme has already been started, really, as elected leaders, we could be wiser. People who have already attained the age of 55 years should be retired to create vacancies for our young men and women, so that they can be employed."
