    "content": "It is also important that we strengthen our secretariat, which is the Clerk’s Office, and all those who serve us in one way or the other. Whenever they tell us something, they should review Government policies, existing conditions and advise us on whether the Motion that we propose to move is workable and implementable or not. On that score, I suggest that we should have a committee or a certain department within the Clerk’s Office or wherever it can reside to provide some form of monitoring and evaluation so that there is a proper link between the Members of Parliament and what happens in the Executive. That way, we will not make a mockery of ourselves and legislate in vain. It is a shame. As we support this Report, we sincerely need a stronger legislative framework to enable us to implement what we pass."
