    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady. It defeats logic to discuss the issue of giving oversight money to the Senate at a time when we are talking about austerity measures. The Senators have their salaries and millage allowances to go back to their counties and conduct oversight. We cannot come to this House to discuss about giving people oversight funds when we are talking about instituting austerity measures. Members of the National Assembly, MCAS and everyone else will demand oversight money. We will be using taxpayers’ money to provide oversight yet that is what we are elected to do. Senators are elected to oversee governors and perform other oversight roles. Therefore, we cannot give them more money because they are doing their job. Let us delete that clause and remove the Oversight Fund for Members of Parliament, MCAs and everyone else because that is what we are elected to do. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady."
