    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On 30th September, with your special permission, I posed Question No.004/2021 as a Question by Private Notice regarding disappearance of one of my constituents, Mr. Francis Oyaro. With your direction, you rendered it to the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security with direction that they respond within seven days. On 7th October, I was invited to attend the Committee’s hearing with an indication that the Cabinet Secretary and his team would be attending to respond to that particular Question, but then I was shortly advised that they were not ready. When we came here and raised a point of order, the Chair sought more time and indicated that he would be giving that answer this week on Tuesday. I was here on Tuesday, but no response was given, and no extension of time was given. Today, I have listened keenly to the Whip of the Majority Party indicating some of the Questions that will be responded to, and my Question was still not mentioned. Hon. Speaker, when a Member has asked a Question under urgency and you directed, and yet two weeks later there is no response, there is neither indication nor any explanation, then our Questions become superfluous. Hon. Speaker, I would need your direction in terms of what then a Member is supposed to do under those circumstances."
