    "content": "Secondly, I am impressed by the call for capacity building and skill improvement for Members of Parliament. Many of us come from diverse professions and backgrounds and it takes a bit of time to get comfortable and learn the ropes. That is why the Mwananchi Report that was released the other day caused a lot of heat and emotions in the country. It hit quite a number of us in our constituencies. But because we now have a Bill that has institutionalised training and capacity building, we hope that it will allow our Members to move forward. All along, many of us had reservations about the quality, capability and capacity of the various clerks and staff who serve in the various committees. With the new Bill in place, we hope that the PSC will undertake massive re-training of our clerks, so that they can move in tandem with the expected quality of reports and affairs. Quite a number of them have capacity issues."
