    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am rising on a point of order on a matter I consider very important on the security of Members of Parliament. In line with your earlier Communication and also as Chair of PSC, I strongly feel that at times, in view of the happenings in the recent past, Members may not be very secure. I am even not certain whether the Inspector- General has been able to avail security to all Members of Parliament and, more so, the new ones. Not just in the Chamber but also within the precincts of Parliament. I did witness, a few days ago during the demonstrations, one of the groups that had come to picket outside the gate of Parliament just at the entrance. Many of our new Members, especially the young ones, were being harassed by demonstrators at the gate. In fact, one of the groups had very many ladies. The ladies were forcefully hugging and even attempting to kiss some of these young Members of Parliament who had no security at that time. It is sad because many of them are yet to get known. As they drive or walk into Parliament Buildings, their security is compromised."
