This morning, I raised concerns in Parliament about the unusually rapid speed at which the Protection of Sovereignty Bill is being processed. Committee meetings to consider views of stakeholders have not commenced, but the bill has already been put on today’s order paper for passing!
If the bill is good for the Country like we are told, it is prudent that adequate time is accorded for key stakeholders to share their views on this bill.

Pendant que vous célébrez la fierté et la liberté 🏳️🌈, n’oubliez pas ceux qui ne peuvent pas vivre leur vérité 🇸🇳
Des Sénégalais sont encore arrêtés, rejetés ou emprisonnés simplement pour qui ils aiment.
Être soi-même ne devrait jamais être un crime.
Marchez aussi pour eux. ✊🏿

For years, two sets of chimpanzees lived as one in Uganda’s Kibale National Park — grooming, interacting and patrolling their territory in a cohesive community.
Then suddenly, one set charged the other, touching off yearslong bloodshed. https://t.co/CTgGUx9TGa
🇺🇬 A group of 200 chimps in Uganda lived together for 20 years, dominated rival groups, expanded their territory, and thrived.
Then their social bridges died, a new alpha rose to power, and within three years the group split in two.
By 2018, former allies were killing each other.
They started with adult males, then moved on to infants.
Over 24 dead and counting.
Researchers said they were "victims of their own success."
A species that shares 98% of our DNA tearing itself apart over power, territory, and resources.
If that doesn't sound familiar, you're not paying attention.
