"content": " Thank you, Hon.Temporary Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to support the Report because it speaks very clearly that this Commission is one of the most hated in this country. It is hated because it has failed to perform its duties adequately. It has failed to convince people about the work it is supposed to do. I thought that the work of SRC is to first of all go to the field and talk to public servants whose salaries they are supposed to evaluate and recommend. However, since I came to this Parliament in 2013, I have never faced the SRC to talk about our salaries. If we are talking about public participation and they are touching the salaries of Members of Parliament, then they need to have talked to them. I have never heard any Member of Parliament invited to talk to SRC about the job that we do as Members of Parliament so that they can evaluate and see how much we deserve in terms of salaries. They have never performed in that line. In my view, they have failed because we have not succeeded to get what we deserve. I am doing my third term but my salary is less than what I got in 2013. I can see the lights are on but I want to say that I support this Report that the Commission should be done away with or improved. So far, they are dissatisfying. Thank you."
