    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Members have quoted the Constitution, but I think they came into the Chamber long after I had quoted the same sections of the Constitution, namely, Articles 7, 10 and 44. I had quoted all those Articles. I had moved on to say that it is in due recognition of the provisions of those articles that this Motion is calling us to discard the usage of indigenous languages only in public offices and national institutions and leave them to be freely used and practiced at the local level in the locations, sub-locations and villages in an endeavour to preserve the diversity of all the communities without undue interference with national issues. I cannot understand how some Members read the language that we talk here in Parliament. I can only imagine that some Members here are suffering from shortage of ideas. Instead of bringing Motions that can move this country forward and looking at issues from the perspective of a national leader, they are looking at issues from where they come from."
