    "content": "Yes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the debate resumes, I do not want to preempt, but it might have been overtaken by events. Within those two minutes, I want to support. There are very many ways and as Hon. Jakoyo said recently, in the United States of America (USA), we saw people doing a sitting and all those are fairly acceptable. What we need is for the House leadership to guide that and open room for people to debate. Sometimes we feel restrained. Let us be on each other. It is what makes Parliaments fun. Do not make Parliament so boring. I like it when I get a jab from the Jubilee side. When they throw something and I am able to equally respond, that is politics. This is a House of politics and law. So, let us legislate as we politic. In a very long time, today is when I have seen just a little of what was in the last Parliament. The House leadership should let us have this free space within which to debate. I know that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs was not able to talk about the issue that is of concern to us, but my friend, Hon. Mutura, though he does not come from that area, I will request him to take up the issue of fishermen, even though I will also pick it from my Committee. We know that the Chinese are importing fish."
