    "content": "round making noise while students are in school revising for examinations. As a result, they are unable to concentrate on their studies. We know that if we go to elections in August, we will not be ready in terms of the Budget. We discuss the Budget in June. We, therefore, do not want this country to come to a standstill because of the election. In August there are many things that happen. Again, we are changing this at the right time, that is the term in office for Members is five years. We are not amending this because of money; rather it is because of the rights of our people. We want to be through with the Budget by the time we go for elections. We cannot say that we are not going to hold elections in December. Traditionally, we go for elections in December. The purpose of this amendment is to set a date for elections; we want to determine when to have elections after five years instead of going round and round in circles. We are the ones who make laws. We are the Members of Parliament. We need to support this Bill. I know that all my colleagues, including Hon. Simba Arati, are going to support this Bill. He knows about his rights because he also has got children."
