    "content": " Thank you, CS of Interior and National Administration. Hon. CS, I have restrained myself because you are the very first CS to appear before the Senate. However, as you are aware, having served in this Senate, this is a House of rules and procedures. Under our rules, more particularly Standing Order No.51(c) (5), a CS wishing to respond to a Question must file a written response with the Senate, 24 hours before they appear on the Floor of the Senate. When appearing before the Senate, as a CS, you are supposed to read verbatim the response that you filed with us. Thereafter, if you have any supplementary information to the response that you have given us, then you can proceed to do so. The design was given so that the Senator asking the Question has prior knowledge of the kind of response you would give and, therefore, prepare himself or herself adequately for a supplementary question. Hon. CS, when you appear next time before the Senate, kindly we will expect you to, first, read verbatim the written response that you will have filed with the Senate. Thereafter, you will proceed, if need be, to give supplementary information to your response, as and when Senators ask supplementary questions. However, since you are the very first CS to appear before the Senate, I have allowed you to get away with that. Hon. Senators, the CS has given a very comprehensive response, although beyond the filed response. Therefore, I will allow the Senator who asked that Question, if he has any supplementary question to ask. Thereafter, I will allow any other Senator to ask supplementary questions. Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi, under our Standing Orders, you have two supplementary questions. You may choose to ask them at once or to ask one now, allow your colleagues to ask their supplementary questions, then you be the last to ask the very last supplementary question. Kindly proceed, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe Ltumbesi."
