    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to thank the Hon. Members who have contributed to this Motion. I will start with the Hon. Members of the Committee who sat through the entire vetting process and confirmed that the nominees are, indeed, fit to serve in this commission. However, the message is very clear to the incoming commissioners. Their job is very clear. It is not to target politicians only. There is an enormous responsibility ahead of them of checking the wage bill and focusing on the productivity in the entire public service, so that we can have a country where even those who do not earn as much feel that, indeed, they are considered. While I agree with the Hon. Members who shared or expressed how sometimes it is challenging when their constituents ask for this and that, from burials to birthdays and weddings, this is not sustainable. Maybe, this is a culture we need to change in this country. How much money is enough to give out to our constituents? It can never be enough. We need to change the culture and also empower our people so that they can get their income and service themselves and even sort out their challenges, instead of thinking that, perhaps, it is our responsibility to sort out their problems. Going forward, maybe as leaders in this country, we need to invest more in developing our country and expanding our economy, so that it can serve all of us. With those remarks, I beg to reply."
