    "content": "respected by the members of staff of Parliament, you must show respect and defend the space between you and them. How do you relate to people in the human resource services? Parliament is a small enclave. The world outside is big. There are many things you can get outside. Let us respect ourselves. I am talking from experience. I will give an example. At the Members’ Lounge there is a sign board that says, “Sitting Members of Parliament Only”. Yesterday, I found a Member of Parliament with five people. I asked him, “What is wrong with you? Can you not even read that sign board?” Let us respect the facilities as designated. Even the flow of people to your office in Continental House must be controlled. You must give right to the security personnel and the Serjeant-at-Arms to vet people. We do not want to have some monkey business going on. Tomorrow the whole image of Parliament… The crime of one of us, is crime of all of us. We are like in a school: if two of us are rotten, then the whole of Parliament will be rotten. Let us together protect the integrity of that term ‘honourable’. I want to caution my colleagues that in Parliament you can destroy your image. We have become so close to some members of staff that even when we have a drink after an induction… How can you have a drink with members of staff of Parliament? Tomorrow morning, he is supposed to wake up as early as 6.00 a.m. to prepare the room for a meeting and prepare files and yet you were with him till 3.00 a.m. or 4.00 a.m.!"
