"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have never seen an amendment where people are being--- I rise to support my neighbour Hon. Omulele. It is very important for MPs to know that we are not supporting this amendment to oppose the Senate. What we are saying is that, if representation is going to be financed, let both Houses sit and let us finance everybody to go and do the monitoring and oversight. We can do that in the next Budget. This is a huge change and it must be done constitutionally as explained by my friend, Hon. Omulele. We have the Budget discussions going on and we have until October to conclude. I urge my colleagues that it is the right thing to do so that if there is money to be shared out for purposes of good governance, MPs should not be left out. Thank you."
