    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I rise on a point of order on Standing Order 183. In line with what you have just said, I wish to remind you that in the 11th and 12th Parliaments, we had the “father and mother” of the House. As we progress into the 13th Parliament, we seem to assume that we do not have a father and mother of this House. I would wish to take this chance to request you to name the father and mother of the House who will help to mentor the young legislators in line with the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) practice. Some of these issues in terms of procedures and processes that are being raised, which are not covered in the Standing Orders, can be taken care of. Hon. Speaker, now that I have the opportunity, allow me to make a small contribution to this proposed Sessional Paper. I support it, especially the clauses which provide for the safeguarding of human rights for our people who are going to work outside this country. It really perturbs me to find that our young women and men are going out of this country unguided by law. Instead of them coming back with successes, they come back as packed cargo just because they have been mistreated, butchered or murdered. Some of them have not returned. It is important that this 13th Assembly approves this Sessional Paper so that we can protect those who are working oversees and within our industries. I beg to support.
