    "content": " Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have expressed my feelings to the Mover that this Committee needs to amended as some of my colleagues talked about. There are unemployed youths of this country who have been misused by politicians. It is my wish that politicians who use youths to campaign for them and protect their communities because they feel insecure, should be exposed. This Committee should help us to expose these people. Madama Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had groups of thugs in this country. Sometimes back we had groups like Angola Msumbiji . There are several organised thugs in these country. It has been very easy for the police to get rid of these groups. But if they are used by the politicians--- It is leaders who make these groups to be hardened. Otherwise, if they are ordinary thugs, the police would have found it easy to dismantle and disorganise them so that they fizled out. There have been organised oathings in this country. This has always been done by leaders, politicians, the rich and business people. For what purpose? What makes them feel insecure that they should take a group of youth and elders to conduct oathings in this country? What are they July 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2037 lacking? This is the kind of information which we need to know. We have also heard about noble religious groups. For example, the Mungiki started as noble religious movement in this country. It has now turned to other things because of being used by politicians. The culprit here is the politician. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
