He is almost becoming a party leader. He is excited. On the issue raised by Hon. Naicca, if you look at today’s social media, there are despicable photos of people being harassed, maimed and women being tortured. It is true that a police post was attacked the day before yesterday by hooligans, but that is not the way the police should do their work to apprehend them. The only avenue the Member has to raise his matter is through the National Assembly. I would like to request the Leader of the Majority Party, although I do not know whether he ...

The Leader of the Majority Party is very happy. I do not know what is happening. I want to request him if he can come to the help of Hon. Naicca, so that he can stop the police brutality that has been going on in his constituency for the last 24 hours. Let him make a phone call from Parliament to the Executive. The only avenue that is available to the Member is this House. What is happening there is unacceptable and inhuman. That is not the way to look for the criminals who raided the police station. I would ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I would like to thank you for the Session that is ending today. People in this country have really felt the authority of the legislative arm of Government. Some of the laws that have gone through in this Session that is ending today have really had a huge effect in this country. One is the amendment we did on the Banking Act.

One of the new things that came with the new Constitution 2010 was you can contest for an election as an independent candidate. That tells you that you either belong to a serious party like the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), Jubilee or the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM), or you contest as an independent candidate.

I am sorry, Hon. Speaker. I meant Hon. Wamunyinyi. I agree with him. About the gender issue, there is this notion being peddled in the country that if the gender rule is not passed, somebody will go to court and dissolve Parliament. You are one of the most experienced lawyers in this country. I am not a lawyer, but I do not understand where that notion came from. How do you dissolve Parliament because of gender?
