    "content": "immediately they make an adverse decision for their safety. It is something the police have requested. Hon. Speaker, let me say something on the Salaries and Remunerations Commission. Which Member of Parliament has talked about remuneration and benefits of MPs in the history of this Parliament more than Hon. Oloo Aringo? When we send Hon. Oloo Aringo to the SRC, did we hear him again? He instead presided over the reduction of the status of this Parliament. In the last Parliament, Hon. Dalmas Otieno used to sit where Hon. Tong’i is seated now. There was no articulate Member on matters of our pay and benefits more than Hon. Dalmas Otieno. When we put him to the SRC, did he not sit and laugh when the youngest MP was being donated for a car by His Excellency the President? What have they done about it? We had to go to court through the intervention of this body. What happened to Amb. Amina Abdalla here? What I am saying is that you may be thinking it is good if these bodies nominate. In substance, the independence of these bodies is not about them nominating. It has not helped anybody. So, we can talk the politics of the BBI but we are saying today the line has been crossed. We want to finish this business and meet people on the ground. There is no single provision which is unconstitutional here. On vetting, we cannot vet our own."
