Order, Mr. Moroto! What is your point of order, Capt. Nakitare?

Indeed, that is true, Mr. Moroto. Please, withdraw your remarks. You need to bring in a substantive Motion in order to discuss the conduct of a Minister or any hon. Member. You know that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to congratulate the President for his Speech during the State opening of Parliament. Unlike what one hon. Member said earlier, I believe that the President outlined very clearly his Government's policies regarding many areas. On education, the President emphasized new fees for schools. That, to me, is a very important Government policy because it will enable the parents or our people to educate their children in secondary schools. I hope that the Government---

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The other area of importance that was outlined by the President was the setting up of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) Policy.

If you to Molo, there is another village. So, it is not just the Coast Province that is suffering from this issue. There are many such villages, and they need to be looked into urgently. I want to congratulate the Government and the Minister of State for National Heritage, Mr. Shakombo, for, finally, recognising, at least, one hero of this country. I had ...
