It is true that people want more constituencies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we get this Statement, I would want the Chairman to further bring out the expected change in the cost of running these constituencies, which costs should not be limited to salaries of Members of Parliament and other allowances, but must also extend to the level of infrastructure development required to house or maintain the extra 70 Members of Parliament. If the design of this Chamber was to accommodate 67 Members and out of the delimitation, we have another 70 Members, it means the seats here must be adjusted. This means extra expenditure. It means that the support required for a Member of Parliament in terms of drivers and Personal Assistants (PAs) must also be factored in. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we would want to understand the budget; how much it will cost the taxpayer and whether they will find it appropriate to design a uniform for Members of Parliament because Parliament will be so bloated that it will not be easy for us to identify one another.
