"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with you fully about the route to go, the hybrid way. However, let us not risk setting precedence where the CSs will know that if they go and deflect the question, they will be free. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the structure of Government, when the President was naming the CSs, he told the country that the Office of the Chief Cabinet Secretary (OCCS) will be responsible for the coordination of the Parliamentary Legislative Agenda. I do not want to look like I am differing from you. This being the case, I would have expected that the moment the CS said that he was not satisfied with his answer, we should have stopped there because supplementary questions would have arisen from that response. We should stop there and send him to come back with a proper answer. It would be up to him to go to the OCCS who is responsible for the coordination of the Parliamentary Legislative Agenda, sit together with NLC and come here with a comprehensive answer. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is an option you can think about but my mind tells me, let us not allow CSs to deflect questions."
