Theseforeign languages are English and French and I studied African Literature, Japanese Literature, ChineseLiterature and European Literature. While the University of Dar es Salaam I was a President of Dar esSalaam Students Organisation (DARUSO). So I don’t think whether I have much to tell you because Iknow that a person is known in three ways.There is a person how we known with himself, there is a person how is known by his colleaguesand a person how is known by creater only the God. For that matter I may know myself in quiet adifferent way has you might have known me. So I might have my strengthens and weaknesses but that isnot very important. Because when you are contesting its when people will start analysing and pin point atyour weaknesses and strengthens. For that matter I think I am well informed of what probably might havemy weaknesses.But one thing I just want to assure you that if you elect me today I will make sure that I willrepresent you and reflect the status of this August House, Mr. Honourable Deputy Speaker in sucha way that I won’t ashame you for the decision you might have made today.I try to put forward arguments and views, I try to defend issues and I will try to make sure that Irepresent a real picture of Tanzanians and the Tanzania as a whole. With this brief explanation, I ask foryour vote. Thank you very much.DEPUTY SPEAKER: Any questions? Yes Honourable Martha Wejja.HON. MARTHA M. WEJJA: Thank you Deputy Speaker, I would like to ask one question forHonourable Mutungirehi.As far as I know him, when he comes with a point in this House, he comes earlier and angry andhe shouts too much as if he is out of this House.

BENEDICTO M. MUTUNGIREHI: Honourable Deputy Speaker, I thank HonourableWejja for her good question.
