Hon Speaker, I would like to applaud Mr Deputy President for having accepted to be the patron of the council because this is a direct response to issues raised at the Small Industries Development Organisation, Sido, during the 2011 country report. We believe that by having this council in place, which actually brought together the departments, provinces, civil society, nongovernment organisations, faith- based organisations, traditional leadership and government agencies, it will be able to talk to the people on the ground. Mr Deputy President, would you kindly share with this House your view on how you would make a difference with regard to violence?
