    "content": "We have already ventilated on that and we are reconciled to the fact that we are going to have an election. I can only hope that our Members from the Minority side will stop playing games and abdicating their duties. You see, they are yet to submit names of Members to represent them in this very crucial process. They must also know that it will still go on with or without them because we have timelines to beat and also a country to get back to track. It is our responsibility. It is unfortunate that they keep sneaking in so that they can avoid the sanctions of Article 103 of the Constitution that says that if you miss eight sittings in a Session you could lose your seat. It is interesting that when they go out there, they tell people that they are not attending Parliament. We need to publish the names of the ones who sign in and get out just for the sake of getting allowances and to save their seats, but do not participate in the critical roles of legislation, representation and oversight that are given to this House."
