    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support the Bill by Boni Khalwale. I will not repeat myself because all the speakers before me have pointed out most of the facts that I wanted to enumerate. I recently attended a function where the former Prime Minister was unveiling his book and one of the speakers at the function made a very enlightening statement. He said that in this world, there are only two types of people; missionaries and mercenaries. He went further to state that the Right hon. Prime Minister was in the category of missionaries and further stated that missionaries are not celebrated or recognized in their lives and hardly enjoy the fruits of their labour. As I sat in that audience listening to the statement, that came as an awakening call. The person who made this statement was also a leader. By stating that, I wondered where he had placed himself because his body language showed that he did not want to be classified as a missionary. Therefore, that meant, by extension, that he enjoyed being classified in the categories of mercenaries. After I left that function, the only thing I carried with me was that statement. The statement is so true in our society and in our lives that it kept me thinking."
