    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. First of all, I have to thank hon. Keynan for trying to bring sanity in the way we operate and structure ourselves as a society. I want to further support the amendments that have been proposed by the Mover of this Bill that the former Presidents and Prime Ministers should be separated, but they should also be moved slightly a bit higher, just below the Deputy President. Also, for the Members of Parliament, as he has said, we represent the people. When you have peoples’ representatives, it is very important that, that is recognized. Sometimes, it is not just about the individual, but it is the honour of the people that you represent. Having looked at some of the structures and the way Members of Parliament have been put previously, this proposal that has been put here by the Mover of this Bill is going to help bring back the dignity of Members of Parliament. All the people and everywhere that we go will know that you represent the people. That is very different from just direct appointment. So, on that note, I want to support. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
