    "content": "members of staff there can learn. They should continuously be sponsored to go and be trained so that they can be better. Their welfare should also be looked into because they are the ones who take care of our welfare. Otherwise, I want to say that a good job has been done. We now need to implement this Report and I believe if we work together as a House, we can do better. Finally, we should have a section to educate some of the new Members on the decorum of the House. Although we went through some training, it seems some of the young ones have not yet learnt. This is because if you bring Parliament into disrepute, you bring it upon yourself and fellow Members. It is absurd to see Members throw nasty words at each other and, as Members, we need each other at all material times. When a Member is bereaved or has a problem, we take care of each other. So, there should be no point whereby as elected Members, we start tearing into each other because it is very sensitive as a politician to lose your name. It means that a particular Member of Parliament is working on your reputation even to your electorate. I think it is unfair because it does not help the two Members or the image of the House. We need to come up with a programme whereby the new Members can learn so that we can work as a team and support each other. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity."
