    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to join my colleagues to support the Motion of Adjournment. Secondly, I wish to express my appreciation for the steps that you, our Speaker and leader of the House, took to organise most of the arrangements from yesterday. Thank you for that. Let me say this: I think we must be asking ourselves one very important question. What is the genesis of that tragedy? That tragedy has occurred because we have some weaknesses in monitoring how our people live. We need to know the feelings of members of our clans. Fighting between clans and tribes does not begin suddenly. Certain feelings start to develop over time. Do we have a system of monitoring what is going on, so that we can reconcile people before they start fighting? Our colleagues would not have left us! If we do not do our jobs in the correct way, such incidents will continue! So, we need to change our system of understanding our people. We need to understand their feelings and requirements. That is necessary. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Dr. Kuti has talked about roads. I want to agree with him. I hope my April 11, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 463 colleague, the Minister for Finance, is getting the message. We need his support to do the roads. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
