    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. It is good that the Committee realizes the weighty matter that is before them. But we need to be awake to the fact that the devices that record hon. Members’ attendance in this House sometimes malfunction. In the last Parliament when this Chamber was opened, the moment you slotted in your card and logged in, your attendance was recorded. In this current Parliament apart from this card, we have a biometric device at the entrance. That biometric device at times malfunctions; when it does, then you have to look for the Serjeant-At-Arms to sign in your name. In a case like mine, it has never been able to record my biometrics. So, every time I have to sign with the Serjeant-At-Arms. Sometimes the book is locked in his office; when he is not available you end up not signing. Sometimes something comes up and you have to leave in a hurry and you end up not signing. So, we also need to do something about the recording devices."
