    "content": "You know every Thursday, the Leader of the Majority Party reads out the business that is going to be transacted the following week, both in plenary and either in Committee of the whole House or respective committees especially with regard to answers to be given by Cabinet Secretaries. If every Member listened... It is unfortunate that most Members do not listen when the Leader of Majority Party is reading out business for the following week. He says Cabinet Secretary for this and this will be appearing before Committee A, B, C and that in the same day another Cabinet Secretary will be appearing before another committee to respond to Questions. So, I do not think there is any need of any other platform save to put the Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party every Thursday under Standing Order No. 44 on the normal parliamentary website. This is so that those that are sufficiently literate can look at the website and see what business is coming the following week. Even if it is virtual, any Member who is keen would then be at liberty to appear before that committee and request the Chairperson of the Committee to allow them to lodge supplementary questions to whomever it is, either Cabinet Secretary or any other such functionary that may be responding to the Questions. It is just a question of Members paying attention. The only other thing that we need to do is put that Statement by the Leader of the Majority Party, either on the Bunge information or on the parliamentary website so that Members of Parliament, and indeed even the public, are aware that this is the business to be transacted. The next segment is requests. The first request is by Hon. Godfrey Osotsi. Hon. Osotsi, before you proceed, Member for Malava, you have an intervention. What is the issue?"
