I believe, as a Christian, that I am sitting in a very holy place and, therefore, I would like to exonerate only one symbol whose meaning I understand that is out there. There is a symbol of a bull there and in my culture, a bull is not Satanic. Therefore, the preachers should not condemn my bull. I would also like to pass my condolences to the people of Kasipul-Kabondo for the unfortunate loss of Mr. Owidi. I would like to congratulate the new Member, hon. Ahenda, who has set the distinguished record for being the first LDP Member in the House."}
