"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, sometimes I get lost on the standards that we use for recognizing achievements in public life. There are hon. Members sitting in this House who came here having won the support of hundreds or thousands of people. There are people they competed with. Some of these people, permit my language, become professional job hunters and end up in commissions. The next thing you know, on Jamhuri Day they get recognition as Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (MBS) while those who defeated them and came to this House and served for 15 years cannot even get the Head of State Commendation (HSC). This is lopsided. To get to this House is an achievement and if there is recognition to the extent of being given a national award, I will propose at some stage that anybody who comes to this House must be given national honour."
