    "content": "The PSC should come and tell us why our staff have not been paid. I also call upon the Commissioners to take this House seriously. Some of us can do a better job as Commissioners, but because it is our first term, we understand that we have to learn how things work before we get the job. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are always complaining in the House about our welfare, yet the Commissioners are not in the House. They are always travelling. There is something wrong there. We are about to close and I do not think it would be fair for our staff to go for Christmas without their salaries. When we tell our staff that we do not have money, they cannot even imagine how we do not have money. However, the truth of the matter is that Senators are broke. We do not have money. Some of us are owed money in arrears. Those of us who travel are being told to use their money and they will be refunded in time. We call for transparency on the Senate budget. Some of us who do not have an operational fund would like to know, for instance, that Sen. Sifuna receives a certain amount of money for the operation of the office so that we are able to track and oversight ourselves."
