(Prof.) Kindiki that when we were growing up and before we got circumcised, where I come from, there is story that we were always told that was passed over to generations.

• 22 May 2020 in Senate: because there are certain communities or areas in this country where if you got a wife, the relationship was almost predetermined that it would not last long. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this moment has given me an opportunity to remember that history. That is why I want to remind Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki that time has come. Here we are.

When we are supposed to be champions of democracy, fairness, equity and devolution, we have almost become the Judas of this period. Shame on us! Shame on the Jubilee Party!
