    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the amendment. The role of Members of Parliament is legislation, representation and oversight. The Constitution provides that for Parliament to play oversight role, it shall work through Committees. I have no problem with Senators being given money to play oversight role, but the way this money is crafted in the Budget is faulty. We do not oversee individually as Members, but through Committees. If we were to oversee individually where a Member is given money to go and oversee what has been done in his constituency, then it would mean that Members of the National Assembly would be given money to go and oversee the money given to their constituencies by the national Government."
