    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we do so, many people have been asking whether strangers are also hooking on the Zoom platform when we have our debates. It does appear that there could be infiltration by strangers on the Zoom platform when proceedings are going on. Your office and the office of the Clerk needs to check the provider of that platform to see that it is unfilterable and is a closed circuit. If there are Senate proceedings, there is no stranger who can come here and talk while proceedings are going on. If a stranger out there can infiltrate and utter unprintable words about a Senator, it is wrong. I saw that at least one or two media houses tendered an apology immediately after the matter was raised and played the correct version. I encourage those that did not to take the cue from those who did and do the same thing. It is always good to let the chips lie where they fell, so that we can proceed to deal with more important national issues that we will debate tomorrow. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I sit, I want to encourage Sen. (Eng.) Maina that Shakespeare said ‘uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.’ Once a crown is put on your head, you must be ready to be stoned, besmirched, slighted, and sometimes abused or flogged because you are a leader. As the Chairperson of the Committee, he should not have a short fuse, but take everything in stride. Some Members will attack him because they are frustrated, others because they do not like him, others because he is in a position they wish to be in. He should just take it in stride. We will continue telling him that he acted incompetently this morning. This does not mean that I hate him. It is because it is true and we must be ready to take this criticism. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
