"content": "Hon. Speaker, this Petition seems to target certain individuals in this country. The other day, Uganda amended its law on the presidential age limit because the people who drafted it were targeting to eliminate somebody. We should not make laws to target certain individuals; we should make laws for posterity. As much it is good for us to receive petitions, this Parliament is also very busy with other issues. A petition must meet a certain criteria for it to be forwarded to a committee. It is going to take the Committee’s time. It is going to take up parliamentary business. After the handshake, we do not need to go this direction as a country. We must continue healing ourselves; moving in a direction that our country is able to reconcile and for us to look at how best we can take this country forward. So, this Petition to me is misplaced. I urge that if it is possible, this Petition is rejected in totality. It should not waste Parliament’s time. That is my position."
