    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to seek guidance on that. That is a very crucial issue because when Members ask Questions, sometimes, we are forced to change it to a Statement. Although the proposal by Dr. Nyikal tries to cure that, you should make a ruling on the way forward now that it is not like the 10th Parliament and before that where ministers were part of this House. Even if they were to come and just listen from the periphery and not sit in the House, it will be very tricky because they will be just like strangers listening and they would not respond. Hon. Speaker, you should make a ruling on how Statements can be done in a manner that is going to be effective and efficient to ensure that most of the Questions Members raise, at the end of the day, see results because it will lead in most cases to a situation like what we have seen with most Members where a chairman of a committee comes with a Statement that is not satisfactory because the things on the ground are totally different from what the chairman reads."
