Therefore, if they could be having the eye of God following you to whichever hideout you may be, on that one, I will not be there myself. However, here, we must recognize that the country adopted a Constitution that allows you to run as an independent or join any political party. That is actually your right under Article 38, and that right cannot be taken away from you. Even if you wanted to move, one of the ways an independent could lose his seat - look at Article 103 - is while here. Of course, what Hon. Kaluma said is what we all know. If you have been brought here by your people as an independent, if you openly join a political party, that is one of the grounds for which I could easily declare your seat vacant and you go and try your luck with whichever other formation you may have chosen. We must balance these things at all times. You have your party and please belong to it and do what it calls you to do while you are here. Therefore, for the rest Hon. Lodepe, do not worry. Why do you think there is tear gas in the country? It is to deal with those situations which become chaotic."
