"content": "I have said it in the past that it is best when you ask a question. Even if the Cabinet Secretary will appear before a Committee, the Member asking the question will be present and is able to press the Cabinet Secretary. The Chair will be there to moderate the question and answer session. The Chair will always ensure that the questioner has the first chance to raise a supplementary question and any further clarifications. Other Members can also chip in and we will see the Member being given the last chance to ask the last question – the old practice at its own dispensation. Otherwise, this one of these statements, I think we keep on bashing the Chairpersons of Committees and yet we know they are merely, per surge. The Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Energy has just mentioned to me that the response he has gotten to her statement is hopeless. I have agreed with the Chairperson that he should go and call the Cabinet Secretary to appear before the Committee. Even for some of these statements, I think we need to convert them to Questions so that the Cabinet Secretaries can appear and respond to Members’ Questions."
