    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we cannot have our cake and eat it. I think it is dishonest on the part of some of us to point out a particular office holder and say that he or she should not have a salary, when the public says that we are overpaid! That is on the basis of the work that we do. I, as an hon. Member of Parliament, cannot justify the salary that I earn, and then say that the President of this country should earn a quarter of that. That is dishonest. I think we should accept this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to anticipate debate on anything, but I would have expected us to pass that item first, even before we bring amendments to the salaries of other people. That way, we can tie our own remuneration to the kind of work that we do, compared to the Chief Executive of this country. I beg to support."
