    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was unable to decipher whether it is in particular or it is including. However, there are those saying that hon. Members of Parliament are \"Ibilisi\" . When somebody wishes people ill and dead, the only individual who is capable of doing that; the only being capable of wishing all hon. Members of Parliament dead is the devil! It is not possible for right-thinking individuals of the community to wish any ill anywhere in the world. These are people who have lost sight of their role. They have forgotten that the freedom of the media is a means to an end, and it is not an end in itself. That is not how to go about issues. It is for that reason that we will present the Media Bill to this House. It is up to this House to decide how the media is going to operate from now on. We do not do so because we do not appreciate the role of the media in the democratisation process of our country. Indeed, the media is vital for democracy, but it is not the only institution that is vital. Parliament is also vital in a democratisation process. My four minutes seem to be over; I will continue with this April 25, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 661 matter tomorrow afternoon. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
