    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is just wasting my time. As I was saying, it is unfair to this nation for people to decline to take up positions and tell 202 PARLIAENTARY DEBATES March 28, 2007 their friends to disobey orders when they are working in their Ministries. When they are not promoted, they come here to complain. Let us be good role models if we want to lead this nation properly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the constituencies boundary review, we cannot talk of equitable distribution of work, when some constituencies are more populated and larger than others and yet, the amount of money being allocated to the districts is the same. We have constituencies which are larger than the districts which were sub-divided. I would like to request this Parliament to pass a Motion in this House, asking the Government to carry out a review of the number of constituencies. Today, in the morning, I was surprised to hear an hon. Member advocate for his people to be allowed to carry illegal firearms. It is very unfortunate that people can go around killing others and stealing people's cattle, yet some legislators here support such moves. I support the proposal that a Bill be brought to Parliament to provide for capital punishment to those who own illegal firearms."
