I wish to comment on the issue of Disco Matangas because I saw many Members had started agitating. Two things are important. First, we should respect the cultures of others. More importantly, we should respect our own culture. What initially started as a rightful way for the tribes to give a befitting send-off has now been tarnished. I am aware that a number of leaders from those areas have claimed that one of the major reasons why there are early childhood pregnancies is because of Disco Matangas . The reason is because we ourselves have tarnished our own cultures. What was once good has ended up being something else!"}
