    "content": "appear before the House and the question of supplementary question - If you can borrow from that institution, that supplementary questions are to enable more Members to put questions to the Minister. I agree with you that we are not going to act in vain. We are spending time on questions. When we are also seeking questions as Members of this House, we should be able to understand the institutions we are seeking those questions from so that if you know of an issue of a commission, we then raise those questions directed to those commissions. The challenge is this, the commissions cannot appear before the House, either the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or the Chairperson. Which means it will now go to the relevant Committee for direction. My question and concern that I submit is that a CS ought to generally understand his Ministry. He may not have specific answers for the specific questions but there is the perception and the understanding that he has a general understanding of his Ministry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even as we limit supplementary questions to the specific questions, there should be a leeway for these Members to ask questions. They may not be within the framework of the question but then, Ministers should be able to acquaint themselves with the general operations of their Ministry so that when you have a supplementary question, at least they have a hint of how to answer it."
