Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have been writing a book which is semiautobiographical called “ The Things We Lost With Freedom ”. I can tell you that when I grew up, I went to school with many people of different tribes and yet I did not know their tribes because it was not important. But right now when you meet a person, the first thing you ask them is which part of the country they come from. Not because you think the part of the country they come from grows a lot of potatoes or has a lot of fish or grows a lot of vegetables but so that you can get an opportunity to discriminate against them. It is a disease that has infected even our young ones. If you listen to young people even in schools and elsewhere you will find that the issue of ethnicity is a cancer in this country that we must fight with every fibre in our being. I support."}
