    "content": "Several times before 1992 - I came here in 1993 - people were being haphazardly arrested within the precincts of Parliament because there was no law protecting Members of Parliament. I feel that this Bill will go a long way in protecting us and giving us the freedom to speak and say whatever we want to - in freedom without fear or favour. Even the clerks or members of staff who work within Parliament should feel free when they are discharging their duties. They should feel free and not fear. This Bill will go a long way in protecting them in Part III, Section 9 paragraph 3, where the clerks or other members of staff shall not be liable to be sued in civil court or joined in any civil proceedings or for any act done or ordered by them in discharging their duty. It is important that as Members of Parliament are shielded, even the clerks and staff you are working with must also be seen to be protected by this Bill. This Bill goes along to do that."
