"content": " Hon. Speaker, I just want to agree with Hon. Ichung’wah, the Leader of the Majority Party, on the matter of the attendance of House sittings by chairpersons and vice-chairpersons of various committees. It has always been a tradition in this House, at least, since the advent of the new Constitution, that they must be physically present in the chamber when the House commences its sitting. It is now taking a new direction. These committees are being left to fend for themselves. The committee Members can only get direction from their chairs. If a chair is not prepared to lead his or her committee, he should say so and give room to others. Otherwise, this idea of abdicating responsibility every now and then will leave a very bad precedent in this House. I want you to put your foot down, Hon. Speaker. All chairpersons, including those who chair oversight and audit committees from my side of the coalition, have to be here. They have no excuse. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
