    "content": "I want to thank you for your indulgence. The reason why I am concerned is because this matter came before the House Business Committee last week. The Justice and Legal Affairs Committee purported to do exactly what they did and the House Business Committee refused. So, I want to agree with hon. Wamunyinyi. I even spoke with the Majority Leader. He said that by the practice of this House, once the matter is before the House, if the Committee wants it differed, as a matter of courtesy, you ask the hon. Member who extended that courtesy. Even though the House Business Committee refused, I was kind enough. They should not abuse my kind heart because up to date, one of the things I did not want to say is this: This Bill came for First Reading in the last Parliament. When I came in, I immediately sent a letter to the Legal Department saying that I am ready to proceed. You notice it is Bill No. 40. After giving out my letter, 39 other Bills came and overtook it. I was assured that it came before those other Bills. I have two other Bills that are also “doing the dance”, and which were finished in the last Parliament. So, even when hon. Mbadi is saying the Subas are being discriminated, yes there must be a story. We are a minority but we have a very strong voice as a minority. That is on a light note."
