    "content": "So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I oppose this amendment. I like the Speaker’s ruling in the morning that we will have a ruling from him saying whether we can amend the Bill in at the Committee Stage. That communication will come at a later date. Hon. Simba Arati was saying that we are opposing because of many other things. This is not a matter of us getting more money or being paid for four months. Somebody made a suggestion that we should be paid in lieu of the four months, but that is neither here nor there, because it can be challenged in a court of law. The MCAs have five years, which is in the Constitution, and then we are talking about them going to elections in December, which date will shorten their term. Anybody can challenge if they are paid early for the rest of the months, which they were supposed to serve. Why would people be paid for a period which they have not served?"
