    "content": "Secondly, we need to look at different Acts. The Public Service Commission Act says that for you to become a commissioner of the Public Service Commission, you must have served in Parliament 10 years prior. Who says once you lose an election you become useless. This is just stigmatising Members of Parliament even when they voluntarily leave politics. We need to replace everywhere it is written “Member of Parliament” with “State Officer” so that it carries everybody who is a State officer. That is why we are having a problem with our house allowance. Other State officers are given house allowance yet somebody is not giving us a good reason why, we the State Officers, are being discriminated against. We need to tell the world that mortgage is not part of salary. Only 60 per cent of Members of Parliament have taken mortgage, what about the 40 per cent? It is an issue that we need to discuss."
