"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is on the same issue. I am not sure whether I am the only one who has gotten these messages, but I suspect that I am not. There are text messages of lobbying by a senior civil servant on the particular Bill, explaining why it should not be supported. I just want clear guidance as to why we get text messages, telling us to support issues one way or another when we do not sit in Government. We have never met some of these people on a one-on-one basis. They do not understand our ideologies or our thinking on issues. I got a text message from a senior civil servant, asking me not to support the particular Bill brought here by hon. Mututho, which, of course, I cannot comply with because I am totally in support of Mututho laws. So, can you give us guidance as to why we get these text messages? We do not sit in Cabinet. Neither do we intend to sit there."
