    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is the dilemma that this House faces as it has been expressed by the substantive Speaker. I guess that is why we were pushing for the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) – so that Cabinet Secretaries or Ministries, whatever they were going to be called, can sit in this House and answer Questions properly. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it has now become the norm. Cabinet Secretaries are fond of dodging Committee sittings and sending Chief Administrative Secretaries, who cannot be questioned thoroughly. The Statement, as long and verbose as it is, literally has nothing of substance. I am sorry to use this language. I cannot hold the Committee responsible but one or two things just need to go on record. It does not actually answer the Question asked. They simply take us through a litany of policy statements and policy wordings that add no value. First, more so tellingly, part (ii) of the Request has not been answered at all. The Question was about the organisational structure of the new entity vis-a-vis the existing one. We are creating an amorphous organisation that seems to start to usurp the power inherently donated to the National Treasury and Planning to hold Government assets on behalf of the Government.
