Ayub Angatia","speaker":{"id":2153,"legal_name":"Ayub Savula Angatia","slug":"ayub-savula-angatia"},"content":"We need to have structures where, and we do not need to impoverish MPs. One of the things that impoverish MPs is funeral contribution. An MP becomes a mobile bank in the village. Why can we not have a benevolent fund created by the Government to sort out that mess? Why can we not have a fund? It is not a theory. We are talking of things that can be implemented. We are a growing economy. We are not going backwards, but addressing the poverty that our former MPs are facing."}
