    "content": "House made at the beginning of the 11th Parliament to get CSs to come to the Chamber. You gave a ruling that you could find a way where they could come into the House and sit in the corner over there. That is the provision we use to have the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning to read the Budget Estimates in the House. It is just politics that stopped the process. While we wait for the changes in the Constitution to be made, that should be revisited. Politics may have changed and if cabinet secretaries were to come to the House with the knowledge that they are going to sit in one corner in the Chamber and face all the Members, they will be more responsive than now. Before that, I used to prepare Questions for my Minister then who is here and we used to watch him answering the Questions on television. If we noticed that he was stuck, we would prepare a quick response, call the assistant minister to give the minister the answer on the spot. That is something we should not wait to happen, but if possible, let us revisit what we did. One morning we were waiting for the first CS to come, but he did not. It can be done and let us pursue it."
