    "content": "Hon. Speaker, I want to tell you as the Chair of the Parliamentary Service Communication that the communication team in our Parliament has failed. They were to do a media briefing. We should have done a media briefing and taken the media through this Bill. The media must be given a copy of the Bill with all the rationale. This Bill is being interpreted differently. In fact, they are discussing a Bill which is not before this House. We are the first Parliament that pays taxes through Pay as You Earn (PAYE), income taxes and our allowance are also taxed. The mortgage we get is not a favour. We pay after five years. In fact, a number of Members of Parliament who have taken mortgage have no salaries because it is committed. After five years, you take your title deed. You have no choice but within five years, you should have completed your mortgage. So, nobody is giving us free money for mortgage. You need to protect us Hon. Speaker, but it is good that we kept quiet for some time until Baba spoke. Today we discussed this with Hon. Junet. We said, if these people can misinform Baba and the President, they are going to misinform Jesus and Mohamed, so we better save the situation."
