    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those who were old enough those days know the vibrancy with which the late Salim Bamahriz approached politics. As a voiceof a minority from the coast, he could never be silenced. He spoke his mind. Some of the issues that he addressed have been addressed by the Constitution. Unfortunately, quite a few have not been addressed and especially those issues that were put forward by the first six in the creation of FORD. It is a challenge to the current leadership. My challenge to the ruling party and the Opposition – I want one of the principals, not the “secondary school principals” but the one for the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) to listen – as a leader of a major political party and the leadership of Uhuru, we want to hear as a minority, your position on democratic distribution of election seats in this country. We have democratic dictatorship that is taking root in this country which must be addressed by the leadership. We want to listen to your plans on protection of the minorities of this country. Thank you."
