    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to echo the sentiments of my colleague because it is now becoming a bit tricky to operate either in this House or at the constituency level. The people we employed to assist us in the constituencies are really suffering. These people are even going to an extent of borrowing money because they have not been paid by PSC. We had a lot of faith in our PSC when they took their positions using whichever means they used to assume the positions. These commissioners do not come to us to explain some of the teething problems that they also encounter when they are doing their work. As Members of this House, we feel that we are not facilitated enough to execute our mandate that we were elected to execute. I do not want to go the route my colleague went of blaming the Government. The PSC is an independent commission and not part of the Executive, as my colleague insinuated. I do not want to blame the Government for this failure but the PSC, which is very independent, indeed. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
