On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I need your guidance on this. Is hon. (Dr.) Pukose in order to say that the EACC has been asking Members for bribes? Can he name them because this is a serious issue we are discussing? As a Member of Parliament, he cannot come to the National Assembly and say that an institution is collecting bribes and yet he does name them. It is a serious allegation.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am rejecting the proposal by the Senate and it is based on one simple reason; the Constitution has given the qualification required and if it has specified the qualification, none of us legislators can change what has been put in the Constitution. So, it is only fair that we abide by what is in the Constitution in terms of qualification. Efficiency is not achieved by higher qualification but rather by the commitment of the holder of the office. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I reject the amendment of the Senate.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion for Adjournment. I am very excited today. We had a very peaceful afternoon because the Leader of the Majority Party was not in the National Assembly. There was unity when we were debating the Retirement Benefits (Deputy President and Designated State Officers) Bill. I wish he could miss more frequently. We would be able to have non-partisan discussions in the National Assembly. Anyway, that is on a light touch, Leader of the Majority Party. We had a very fruitful discussion today and we passed ...

time. There is this Bill on teachers which we were talking about, but it will come next time. As we break for the holidays, it is very important for all leaders to take the interest of this country first, especially on the issue of security, which has been stated. However, this cannot happen when some leaders say in public that they are serious, but when you check the actions and activities taking place, they clearly show that the country is not safe. Today, you are safer travelling to Uganda or Tanzania without a passport. But you are not safe going ...
