    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. As Hon. Ruku was contributing, I imagined him receiving a message today at 6.00 p.m. about the death or the sickness of one of his staff in the constituency. I wondered whether he was going to call that constituency manager back. Or Hon. Ruku receiving information from one of his staff members that one of his campaigners is unwell or has an emergency. I wondered whether he would call them back or wait until working hours assuming we were to set them up. Therefore, it is good to think of the ramifications of some of the provisions we make when we come to Parliament. I believe that in employment, working for, with, or under assumes that over time people create relationships, get to like their jobs and learn how they work. I do not imagine that employers or employees would get in touch with each other “after working hours” for fun. As much as many people may have an issue with the employer calling an employee after working hours, I believe that this is a knee-jerk reaction. It is tantamount to summoning a hammer to fight a mosquito. I wish there was a way in which we could leave this to the good sense of the employers and the employees. This is because, the moment we say that there are times when an employer cannot or will not get in touch with an employee, what about emergencies or the times when the employee may have done something that needs to be corrected?"
