    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. To avoid this business of chairmen of committees being referred to as messengers, this House needs to look at its Standing Orders and see how Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) can come to the House and respond to Questions and Statements. You have been in this House for many years. Before, when answers were not sufficient, the Speaker could sanction the Ministry and say that there will be no business that will be transacted until a satisfactory answer is given. So, as the House comes to its tail-end, those who are responsible for looking at the Standing Orders for the next Parliament need to consider this business. Alternatively, in the next Parliament, we can amend the Constitution. Let cabinet secretaries come to the House and carry their own cross as opposed to chairs of committees carrying it for them. They have nothing to do with what transpires in the ministries."
