    "content": "Is it a crime to be eloquent so that, if I am eloquent than you, then you find funerals where you talk in your mother tongue or Kiswahili? By the way, Kiswahili is allowed here. If you cannot present yourself coherently in English, please do it in Kiswahili, instead of scandalising those of us who can contribute to the debate in these languages. Some Members even contribute and they do not understand procedures. As I conclude, people do not even know what a Special Committee Report is. We have different types of reports. A Special Committee Report is supposed to target a specific special issue to be addressed. You cannot make it an omnibus report then when people who understand procedures reject it, you go everywhere; you are in vernacular radio stations and funerals saying “Mbadi this, Mbadi that”. Do you think you will intimidate Mbadi? I stand firm on what I believe. For those who do not want to make contributions here, please, forgive us. Leave us. Give us space. We will talk what we believe. That will be it. I just want to ask you: please rein in on the membership of this House. Do not gag them. Let them say things that they know and prove it with facts. For me, I am not for protecting the image of Parliament. If it is bad, let us expose it; expose truth. Do not scandalise people just The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
