    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Report. Firstly, I want to congratulate the Committee for doing a good job. Establishing of Bunge channel is long overdue. In our Constitution, the right to access information is fundamental. Therefore, we cannot allow other people to be reporting on our behalf. If we allow this channel to be established, I am sure we are going to lower the cost of public participation through Parliament because those who elected and nominated the 290 elected MPs, the 47 elected women representatives and the nominated Members of Parliament, are always expecting return for their investment. The return on their investment is showing them what we are doing in Parliament. Some reports have been given out here. A Member of Parliament may have spoken several times in Parliament, but when it is reported, they say that the Member spoke only twice through their lifetime in Parliament. With such a reporting, most Members are losing their seats because the electorates will say they are not able to speak and articulate issues affecting their constituencies."
