    "content": "Yesterday, I heard somebody within Parliament trying to issue gagging orders for some of us not to speak about the welfare or concerns that we have. I want to put it without fear of contradiction that many people tried to intimidate us in our previous lives. Some of us were arrested, persecuted and prosecuted, but I want to inform them the price of intimidation and blackmail is zero. Therefore, there are no gagging orders. If there is something wrong - if there is no water in the Chamber - we have a right to ask questions about it. You cannot threaten any Member of Parliament with being taken to the Powers and Privileges Committee for asking what rightfully belongs to them. I want to call upon you, because all of us are brothers and sisters in this House, that if there are any gagging orders from you or any other individual from the National Assembly, then they should inform us in advance. We do not want to operate with the principle of monkeys; hear nothing, see nothing, and say nothing. Then why are we elected through a democratic process? That is why I must insist that let us always have conversations on many issues surrounding the running of this Parliament at any given time."
