    "content": "This House has discussed the Second Reading of the Parliamentary Service Commission Bill. There is a lie outside there that the Bill is about increasing the salaries and allowances of Members of this House. That matter has been reported sensationally to the extent where it is almost damaging the reputation of the House and Members of this House. As far as I am concerned and what I know, that Bill has nothing to do with our salaries. It is meant to operationalise the Parliamentary Service Commission. That is one of the last Bills on the matter of the implementation of the Constitution 2010. The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has its statute and all other commissions have theirs. It is only the Parliamentary Service Commission which does not have its own statute up to now. Let us stop politicking on this matter. I am aware that members of staff who are between PSC15 and 17 will be on contract basis. That is what is all over in all developed jurisdictions but not in Parliament. If you do not agree with that, there are other avenues you can use to object to it but not to malign the names of Members and the name of the House. My party leader issued a statement. I told him in the morning today that the Bill has nothing to do with our salaries. It is about operationalising the Parliamentary Service Commission."
