    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I am standing to support Hon. Mwamkale’s amendment. He may be from Coast, but I disagree that this is merely a Coastal matter. We should not pigeonhole these issues because they are national issues. Issues of land are emotive nationally. The fact that this issue is being raised by a Member from a particular region does not regionalise the issue. I am a bit concerned if we enter the gang mentality and gang up against amendments merely because they are being raised by a particular region. I also want to caution that, indeed, this House can pass unconstitutional legislation. Only last year, the High Court struck out 11 sections of the Security Laws (Amendment) Bill that was being discussed and enacted by this House."
