    "content": "Hon. Members, now we can leave it at that point. Just for your information, when this thing came out yesterday, I was in the office and we discussed it with the Clerk and we agreed that the Clerk is going to write to this company called Infotrak Research and Consulting Limited to ask them to avail information regarding the parameters used, the people interviewed and the size of the sample that was done. They must also ensure that the parameters conform, and more importantly, must have a bearing on the functions of a Member of Parliament serving in the National Assembly, and it must be on the basis of the laws that govern the operations of a Member of Parliament. More specifically, they should be educated on the functions as stipulated in Article 95 so that those who deal with the NG-CDF know what work a Member does there. There are also those who deal with something else you call GAF or something like that. I do not know what it stands for. Is it Global Assessment Functioning? That is something which Hon. (Dr.) Tecla spoke about. Again, if they are going to do samples, they must have a bearing on those general functions of a Member of Parliament. You cannot just call a person in the streets and ask him: “How do you rank your MP?” This is somebody who is very hungry and does not know the MP because the Member is busy serving the constituency in the village. That is the guy you get and he just tells you: “I do not like him/her.” So, that matter is being addressed. We can now go to the business of the House. However, it was fair that you had a chance to also express yourselves about it, and I thank Hon. Millie for raising the issue.
