    Why Why Why? You are the servants of the people. If all of you MP's are scared, please resign and go home and scrape coconut. It is OUR money.

    Nkmco Tuesday, 17 May 2022 05:00 PM

    Sam Silva Tuesday, 17 May 2022 05:45 PM

    The scared ones can resign.

    Every MP is a public servant, who represents a constitue, the people have sent them to parliament, if so why are you so scared of the same people who elected you, if you have done the right thing by the same people who elected you? Why spend state money for protection, you should be able to walk on the streets without fear. Why are you so scared that you need security if you haven't done any thing wrong? Isn't this enough evidence to prove that the 225 1 in parliament are undemocratic and have lied and deceived the people and are not serving the people ? This is the very reason people say 225 1 should go home. You dont need a degree in rocket science to under this.

    OMG ! The protection provided is only for now and not, lifelong.

    Looks like Speaker is dead scared . Tuesday, 17 May 2022 06:45 PM

    Earlier an MP was provided 02 constables and recently this was increased to 06 including an SI, for protection. What more is the Speaker talking about ?

    johan Tuesday, 17 May 2022 06:56 PM

    Sambo Wednesday, 18 May 2022 07:10 AM
