    "content": "parliamentarians might not even have staff. We have offices. Some may not have offices. You will realise when you go there if you find yourself one of the people who go there. Those are various issues that this IPU is mandated to represent. They sit twice a year mainly in March/April and then October/November and they rotate all over the world. That is why when they sit they deliberate on those issues in committees. They then present their reports to the House. That is what informed these reports which are presented to this House. Those are the deliberations. Once they deliberate and have these reports, which are presented to this House, then what happens is that parliaments – and that is something we might need to think – look at the recommendations from IPU, pick some of them and then further them to become legislation. Maybe in future I might recommend in our country that we have a committee dealing with human rights of parliamentarians. We might want as a country and as Parliament to make the members of IPU that you nominate, Hon. Speaker, to become an ad hoc committee. When they come back, they can sit down, propose some of these recommendations that we think might lead to legislation in our country so that our country moves very well. As I said, their deliberations result into a report like what has been presented in the House. Next week people will be going to Geneva for that. In the last one, they were dealing with climate change conferences that happen in the world."
