Of course, I am very much concerned about height, as it was earlier on pointed out and other aspects of human anatomy. I think the hon. Member made some proposal. To respond to his remarks is to say that it is within your power and right to move a Motion to set up a select committee which should go to investigate only this. Of course, remember as Parliament we have certain handicaps that at the end of the day, you will only be able to make recommendations for implementation by others. That is the only thing that one must caution. That you may say you have this evidence, and then you start investigating and you find you are going nowhere. It is not fair also for Parliament to act in vain. As we say, courts must not act in vain; Parliament too must not act in vain. Whatever it is that you seek to investigate and inquire into, the recommendations that you come up with must be capable of being implemented by whichever agency of Government. That is not the subject now, hon. Nassir; you can move with speed and propose the Motion. There is nothing to worry about your request. You can move the Motion, but we can get hon. Abongotum to address the issues raised by the Leader of Majority Party. Or we hear from your neighbour there, the man with extremely rescinded hairline, the hon. Elmi. You should not be discriminated on account of that."
