We want flowers for Valentine’s Day too though we are happily single- MP says

HON. NYAMUPINGA:  Thank you very much Mr. Speaker.  I wanted to respond to the Valentine wishes that you gave us on this Valentine Day.  We also wish you the same and Mr. Speaker, you did a good thing to remind especially your fellow Members of Parliament in this House if they ever sent any valentine messages to their wives  and partners  home before they left to come to Parliament – [HON. MEMBERS: Hear, hear.] –  I hope they are learning from you Mr. Speaker.

This is what we expect as women that when there are days like these where we need to be shown love, you always remind them.  Thank you Mr. Speaker.

THE HON. SPEAKER:  Order, order, I can only trust Hon. Nyamupinga that they did in the privacy of their bedrooms.
