"content": "The President talked about the CSs coming here; it is a good idea and we had it in the parliamentary system. It ceased when we adapted the presidential system because most work is done in Committees. If we think of changing the Standing Orders, we might also have to look into amending the Constitution. The reason is that we have over 40 Committees. It cannot not be implementable in a House where each Committee wants their Questions answered. How will it work? Will you bring all the CSs here on one day? How many days will that take? In a presidential system, Committees work best because it is a smaller set up. There are many committees, even ten can meet in one day, and we invite all those CSs. Even as we embrace that it will be effective, we also need to look at the logistics of implementing it."
