"content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I happen to fall within the generation that is mostly affected by drugs in this country. I will be the last person to oppose anybody who is so passionate about fighting drugs in this country. However, as a House, hon. Members must take responsibility that we are all collectively responsible for laws that emanate from this House; whether bad or good. So, if today we agree that hon. Mututho is passionate about fighting drugs then this House must also come up with mechanisms for curtailing his passion for other things like economic crimes; he may have passion for other things that we may not know and so on. Personally, I know that from the point of law--- As things stand now, until somebody exhausts the possibility of appeal we must presume that the person is innocent. As a youth, I would be so much happy--- Passion can be passed genetically; hon. Mututho could allow his son, who is my agemate and who has the same passion as the father, to carry on with this responsibility. I support Mr. Mututho for this job, but I also want us to look at the other side and ask: For his passion of other things, what do we do?”"
