    "content": "Kenafric Industries Limited that employs more than 15,000 people from the low neighbourhood. If these people were to close shop, I would have more than 15,000 or so mouths looking for me to be able to feed them. This is an interest which is not monetary but an interest which brings me to the House. This chocolate business is a very important subject. It made me differ with my party leader last week. Every Member of Parliament’s chocolate is in the mwananchi who votes for me and any time you step on my chocolate, I will speak all the English until I speak vernacular. This is what happened when I was in the Chamber. Hon. Speaker, first of all, allow me to congratulate you because you not only received the petition but you gave one of the most considered decisions that I have not seen in this House in this 12th Parliament. There is a principal which is called audi alteram partem . The Leader of the Majority Party will not hear me now. I am on another wave line. This means that every person needs to be heard. Let the other side also be heard. That is what Article 50 of the Constitution is all about. That is what the right of fair administration is all about. We passed a legislation the other day to implement the Article on fair administration. This House, noble as it is, wants to condemn people without giving them an opportunity to be heard, and lynch them the way I hear nowadays in the newspaper everyday that people are condemned, hanged and judgement passed on the streets while they are still asking for bonds. If this noble House will also continue to do what people do on the streets, then we have no business being Members of this honourable National Assembly."
