    "content": "Hon. Robert Mbui, I think the Communication was very clear. Cabinet Secretaries will come here to answer Questions. In committees, I do not know what the Chairpersons do. However, while serving in the Committees of Finance, and Defence and Foreign Relations in the Senate, we never allowed a Cabinet Secretary to send CAS or PS on their behalf. We only dealt with Cabinet Secretaries. I leave it to the chairpersons of committees to decide what they want to do. At some point, I will ask the Leader of the Majority Party to give a Statement on the Floor of the House. However, I need to make it clear that the appearance of Cabinet Secretaries in plenary is not a closure of their appearance in committees. There will be Questions that will be inadequately prosecuted on the Floor and the discretion of the Speaker may direct them back to committees for further inquiry and investigations. There may also be Questions that in the opinion of the Speaker and on advice of the Clerk require in-depth investigations and may be sent directly to committees. I also know that Question time is the sweetest time for Members of Parliament in the plenary. For every Member who will file a Question, I will allocate them their day. If it is inadequately answered, I will send you to prosecute it in committee as it has been done in the past. I think that would satisfy you for now."
