    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to second the Motion. This is a very important Committee. In the last Parliament, on our side of the National Supper Alliance (NASA) – that time we used to be called the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) – the main man who was representing us in that Committee was Hon. Washington Jakoyo Midiwo. We felt that the best caterers may be are from that constituency. We decided to bring the hon. Member who replaced him to the same Committee because I think they know how to cook good cassava. He talked to me as the Whip and told me: “I must be in that Committee.” The hon. Member who replaced Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo is a member of the Committee. After a Member of Parliament leaves his home at 6 O’clock or latest 7 O’clock, basically he or she lives in this Parliament up to almost 9 p.m. or 10 p.m. So, the facilities that are here have to be good. In this country, it is only Members of Parliament who cannot speak about their welfare and facilities. We have been made a group of people. I do not know whether we were supposed to work for free for the country. I do not know whether we are not supposed to have any privilege at all. When you go to Government offices at levels that are lower than us, the kind of tea that you are served in those offices cannot be compared to ours and yet he is a small man like a director of something. He tells you to choose the type of tea you want. He has three varieties of tea and here in Parliament, you are served tea that I normally call “tea ya matanga ”. For “ matanga tea,” milk is very little. It is just white by semblance. The colour is just white but you can see maziwa imenusa chai."
