    "content": "Today, everyone should understand that we are not even defying wise counsel from His Excellency the President and all other leaders, that MPs should not increase their perks. We are not increasing our perks or benefits. There is no provision in this Bill that says we are increasing them. We are ensuring that everything that happens under the roof of Parliament is legislated and anchored in a section of the law. So, as it has been ably presented, we do not have to go round begging for what is rightfully ours. Let us entrench it in the law, and have it enforced in the best way possible bearing in mind that we have a country whose interest we have to protect."
