    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I was actually trying to be diligent. I know that many hon. Members might not have had an opportunity to go through the CV. Sometimes it is boring. I felt that I should use this opportunity to highlight it and I am about to finish. What I was trying to say is that these individuals; from our own observations, have demonstrated passion to serve hon. Members. They have leadership, administrative and public management skills. I hope you will approve their names. I have just said that we are going through very difficult institutional challenges as a result of the high number of hon. Members. There are logistical problems and lack of adequate finance; which was actually our own making because we reduced the PSC’s budget. I am sure you know it because of populist desires. Hon. Deputy Speaker, what we endeavoured to achieve is the appointment of these two nominees and other Commissioners already in place - the Commission serves the two Houses. I want to go on record that we have a bicameral House; the Senate and the National Assembly. In terms of our functions, we have a committee and we have the Chair of the Members Welfare Committee; hon. Leshore, who is a Senator. I want to say this so that you are also aware. Senator Leshore is in charge of the hon. Members’ The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
