    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I know that it is disappointing when Chairs do not appear, especially when they are required to move Motions. Apart from reading in our social media forums and everywhere else from where we are supposed to access information, I believe that it takes a very long process before a matter is presented on the Floor of this House, where the Office of the Clerk is involved and, this being a House of procedure, the Chair is prepared. In the absence of the Chair and Vice-Chair, any member of the Committee should take charge. When it is repeatedly said that Committee Chairs are not available, yet this afternoon most Chairs including myself, were here. So, as you have said, it is a matter of coordination and providing as much support as possible to the Chairs and Vice-Chairs and ensuring that by the time a matter is being presented, the Chair has been properly prepared. So, I believe there is a reason why these Chairs are not here. As you have committed, we will also communicate what has been said to them. Thank you."
