I want to thank the Parliamentary Service Commission for the energy, time and confidence it has shown in taking up this issue from the beginning. It was a very emotive issue all over the country, especially when people talked about the remuneration of hon. Members; when people talked about taxation for hon. Members. But when the PSC took the initiative by instituting that Tribunal, everybody was happy and we supported it. It was made public; the sittings were public and open. I do not think there were sittings that were held in camera and I wish to congratulate the PSC for that transparency. It was good governance and accountability."}
