    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. I would like to support this amendment that has been brought by Hon. Kaluma. In his presentation, he made a very passionate appeal and I believe he is very right. When I came to this House, I constantly heard many older hon. Members saying that this is a House of debate, customs and traditions. That gave us so much power that this is a very important House. The role we play is very critical. This House of debate exposes you to debates on sensitive matters which should be protected when mentioning certain things or when expressing yourself in a certain way. Without protection or immunity, we cannot perform. I believe this is a role we need to protect all the time. When he mentioned the plight of Hon. Gor Sungu, it came to my mind that if we do not watch out, we many end up in the kind of regime we had in the past. Even when you said that the KANU party is dead, you get arrested and imprisoned and yet, you said it in the House. We do not want to get to that situation anymore. We passed it and the law we are putting The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
