He said that it was a sensible request. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this past Wednesday, the CS was to come to the Committee, but he had been summoned to Sate House. I think you all saw when they declared drought a national disaster. The Committee then determined that we invite him for the last time the coming Tuesday. I will ask all Senators to be present in that meeting because it is a very important issue. Our former councillors text us every day; their plight is really bad. They have a lot of hope in the work of this Senate Committee. I also thank the CS because he has been very honest on this issue. I am sure we will conclude it next Tuesday. I just wanted to give that clarification because I know that our councillors are also following. We are still on top of this issue and shall report to the House next week. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you."}
