"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to reiterate that the Senate is being disrespected yet again. We are the ‘Upper House’. Every time I tell people that I sit in the ‘Upper House’, I expect that the ‘Upper House’ is respected equally, as the National Assembly. Many people do not know that nominated Senators do not have an operational fund, yet we have employees. Twenty minutes ago, I checked and my staff have not been paid. I want to call upon the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) to come and give us a report and tell us before we start blaming the Executive. The PSC should be able to tell us if they have received money from the Exchequer and if they have not or what the position is. It is very sad today that I do not see any Commissioners in the House. We are always complaining about our welfare. Personally, I have been complaining about my office, the welfare and the work environment. However, the Commissioners are never here to hear our complaints."
