"content": "It was released on Friday, I am sure that this week, it will be there.T hat is for those who submitted proper returns for July, August and September. I want to conclude by saying that this is about our institution, country and our name. Therefore, the best we can do, as you have rightly pointed out, is to discuss these challenges soberly and objectively. Where there is a cash crunch, there is nothing we can do. We only need to plead with those who are in charge of our national resources to prioritize Parliament as a key institution. Where we have problems because of other issues, it is high time we cracked the whip and told Members of the Executive, in particular the mandarins at the National Treasury, that Parliament cannot be at the bottom of their priority list. Parliament must either be number two or number one after the security agencies. It should actually be second. This is the message. I want to ask Hon. Sakaja and those other senior Members of this House to pass this message. Parliament should either be second or number one. I want to conclude by saying that there are challenges. Let us discuss this soberly. Let us completely leave out politics from our welfare. I am sure that once we do that, we will get a lasting solution. Thank you Members."
