    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, leadership should not be a preserve of the rich. It should not be left to people who can do electioneering in billions, helicopters and other things. There must be also a chapter or two which will define how a poor man, and who is the material that we are advocating here, can be able to come to this august House and represent his people. That is because the role of Government is threefold: That of representing the people, that of making of laws and that of oversight. None of that includes a cheque book. None of the roles that Parliament gets involved in are gauged by who can draw the biggest cheque. For that reason, we need a law that protects the poor, so that they also have ready access to electoral positions."
