    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, another thing that I feel I must talk about is that when people are given certain positions of responsibility, they only look for people from around their homes to fill up positions. That is tribalism. We cannot unite this country as long as we work on tribal lines. I have been in this Parliament for a long time now, and I have seen people come and go. Whoever gets a position only minds about his tribe. He chases away other people and then brings in others from his home area. This is a country for all of us. The only officer I can say has worked so well, and I can vouch for him, is the Governor of Central Bank. When he was appointed, he never removed anybody from their position, because he came from another area. He let those people work until they retired and he gave them all the opportunity. Today, you will find that when he was reappointed, a certain group went to court, mainly because he does not sing their song. He is just a nationalist. This is because we have never had a problem in this House of somebody saying that the Governor of Central Bank has removed so-and-so and replaced them with somebody from his community. No! He has done a good job. We need people to emulate him and not just to remove people from positions and put in other people from his tribe."
