    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also raise my voice on the President’s address which is guided by Article 132 of the Constitution which says that the President will address the newly elected Parliament. My colleagues have talked many things about this. I will seek not to repeat what they have said. Generally, the President’s speech sounded very progressive. However, there are rough edges which I will be addressing in my contribution. Mr. President alluded to the fact - from where I have come from - I mean the National Assembly; this was a real challenge. He said that we would like to have Cabinet Secretaries (CS) coming to the House to address Members’ concerns, questions, statements et cetera, because the current arrangement is not very productive. In the end, it is weakening Parliament as a key institution of running a government."
