    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I appreciate this opportunity granted to me to support the Report by Hon. Machogu about Members’ facilities and services. I would like to encourage and pray that the Chairman continues with that spirit. When we came to Parliament, the Members were not enjoying the facilities as expected. After complaints from the Members, the Committee has really tried to push for the betterment of the facilities. I can recommend that we have seen some changes even in the offices. Some of the offices had no computers and had worn out chairs, but now they have been replaced. Even the dining facilities have been improved. The issue of salaries for the staff is very painful because of the delays that have been experienced. It should be improved with time. Lastly, Members have been complaining about their sitting allowances and how they are paid. It is good to come up with a well-structured plan so that you can know at the end of the month that you were present for several sittings and you have been paid for them. We will support the Chair even through the PSC to ensure Members are satisfied as they discharge their duties."
