    "content": "This came about because at one point, some people thought that Parliament was the enemy of this country for whatever reason. You can see the kind of stereotyping and criminalising of Parliament such that people do not even reason. Even things that happen to other State officers, when you do it to Parliament people think you have committed a crime yet other State officers continue to enjoy some of those things. It is coming out of some of these decisions we make. That is something that needs to be changed. I know the other colleagues want to contribute. This Bill is good. The other thing that we also needed to check is the membership of this panel. I can see that three are from the Executive and three from other commissions. I do not know whether having someone from the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is a good idea. Just as we have left out the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) from participating in the recruitment, we should also leave out the JSC. The JSC can arbitrate when you do not follow the law like it happened in this case. Now if they are part of the decision-making and then you ask them to arbitrate, it may compromise the integrity of their decision. I support the Bill."
