    "content": "then you summon him, the matter would have lapsed and life would have moved on. We must create circumstances where the Senate can intervene at the right time. If we do not deal with this matter within the next seven days, then we are better off dealing with it as an ordinary business without expressing any urgency. I feel that we are becoming toothless. Summoning a cabinet secretary now looks like a difficult thing to do. I have never seen a situation where we have had a whole debate of how helpless we are with some Members saying that we are useless. Parliament must have full authority on this matter. Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe, the Statement could not wait for another week. It had to come now unless you want Parliament to be a talking shop. This matter is so serious. The Cabinet Secretary has been invited but he has said that he has exigencies of duties so he will come on unspecified day. You should put your foot down. If he does not appear, it will not be our problem but his problem because we will know how to deal with it. I know the courts were sometimes hesitant to punish cabinet secretaries for noncompliance but they are now doing it. Non-compliance with summons is a constitutional violation because it is a right that flows from the law. It can be a basis for taking action under the Constitution."
