    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are talking about democracy here and not oppressing the minority. Democracy means respecting the rights of the minority. That is what I was taught and that is what democracy is all about. This issue may end up here with the majority carrying the day. However, we will move to the highest court in East Africa, the East African Court of Appeal so that we can challenge all those illegalities that have been created by this House. We have seen political parties in this House that are not sensitive to the balancing of this nation. Are we confirming that our political parties are tribal and ethnic? Those are the questions we need to answer. As much as you are separating yourself from the issues of political parties, I want to assure you that, that creates more confusion. Today, we were talking about a political party called NARC. You are aware that NARC is dead. What is there are fragmented parties and others have been made to join the Opposition. It is high time for you to rule if we are legal hon. Members of this House or not. If we are not, we should be sent back to our constituencies, go through elections and re-elect new leadership."
