    "content": "It is very misleading when it is said that the Attorney-General has brought a Bill to increase the remuneration of hon. Members of the National Assembly. It does not do any such thing. What this Bill sought to do in the parts that I have now conceded should be retracted for further consultations, further refinement and, hopefully, to be addressed at a separate time in a separate way, is the remuneration of persons who have served in the Speaker’s Panel without any payment for a long period. This includes the Deputy Speaker and hon. Members of the Speaker’s Panel. In my judgment, which I have now revised, I thought these were legitimate payments that ought to be made in recognition of the work done by this very important Speaker’s Panel. As this matter has become controversial and as bad faith may have been read into it, when there was none, I now wish to make those clarifications so that we may continue with the body of this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, which all of us agree is very important for securing the work that this House has to do."
