I have not had time to look at the document but it is coming out very clearly that the protection of the Executive by this House should stop. We actually are in charge. We oversee the Executive. The moment you give and take and just play around, then they will not take us seriously. I am surprised because I am told by the Mover that even somebody from the Ministry of Lands, apart from the CS herself, appeared before the Committee. I was not there.
