"content": "This country is known for one unique thing; we are known as a tourism country. We also know that tourism is one of our largest foreign exchange earners. The wildebeest migration has been called one of the wonders of the world. It happens between June and October, and this can be confirmed by the Tourism Board or the Wildlife Agency. There is July, August and September between June and October. So, if you are going to conduct elections in August during the middle of the wildebeest migration, you will be interfering with our tourism. In the last two or three years alone, this Assembly has voted huge amounts of money to revamp the tourism sector. It has voted a lot of money to ensure our tourism sector picks up. It will not be good that every four years we have to vote money to revamp the tourism sector because of an election. That is why I say that an election in August is not only a rude date but is a date that interferes with the economic backbone of the country which is tourism. You do not want to revamp the sector after every four years."
