"content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. First of all, I want to support the Petition by Hon. Gumbo. I wish to inform Members that when MPs retire, they need three things namely food, money for medicine and money to buy a newspaper. If you do not get the three, you are living on borrowed days. I have seen this since I came to Parliament. We have lost a number - I would say over 100 Members - from the time I came here because of lack of food and medicine. I support this in every meaning of that word. The Parliament of Uganda has introduced a small package for MPs to the extent that even burials of MPs in Uganda are being funded by the Parliamentary Commission of Uganda. I want us to look at the plight of these Members and support that they should be paid, at least, US$1,000 like it was recommended by Justice Akiwumi. Let us all support the Petition. If you look at the other side of the aisle, you will find that most of you were not in this Parliament. On 2nd August, 2017---"
