    "content": "The idea of whipping and de-whipping, bringing and taking them away is not good for democracy in this country because we are actually breeding a certain character that unless you sing a certain song, or bow to a certain leader then you are not going to be part of this thing. I believe one day one time they will be in Government and one of them will be President of this nation. I would wish that they lead by example that we can tolerate dissenting voices. We have had several people of such characters and they have been tolerated. The history of this House has shown that we have had speakers who went against the Government itself. At that time it was one party system. I remember the late Jean- Marie Seroney, who when somebody wanted to substantiate on a certain issue, he said he could not substantiate the obvious. Which means, at that particular time, we still had dissenting voices. I am requesting our brothers on the other side, that even Jubilee is having the same quagmire. They also have the same dictatorial character. Sometimes they find it hard to dictate upon some of us, but they are also dictators just like everybody else."
