    "content": " Hon. Baya, we are in this House to legislate. We cannot be derogative to ourselves. First, whatever it is, we cannot start abusing ourselves. It looks very bad out there, that we are abusing ourselves. The only point you are making, Hon. Pukose, is that a Member of Parliament, by an act of the Constitution itself, cannot work as a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or administrator in this way. Every legislation must have an intention. What would be the intention of this? What would be the intention of a statement, to say that something which is obvious and constitutional, we specifically refer to it. Are we not just abusing ourselves? This is what I am saying that nothing should proceed from this House in which we are saying that there is something very wrong with Members of Parliament. That a Member of Parliament is so questionable that he should not do this thing, yet the Constitution itself has said so. Otherwise, we are going to produce legislation in which we put ourselves at the point of, if I say foolishness would be unparliamentary. No, it is not unparliamentary. We would be foolish. Yes, we would be foolish. We would just be foolish or unwise."
