    "content": " Hon. Senator, you know we are guided by our Standing Orders. There is no provision that we can send supplementary questions to the CS. The reason we are finding ourselves in this situation is we do not ask supplementary questions but totally, new questions. An example is the question on what the loss this country has suffered as a result of whatever is going on in this country. That is the main fundamental question that ought not to flow as a supplementary question. However, it did and you saw the CS could not give us the exact figures. I have therefore, ruled that she files her response to that question on or before the 23rd May, 2023. I believe if that had been posed as a main question, a lot of supplementary questions, including the aspect of visa, could have come in. However, it was posed as a supplementary question and therefore it denied you the opportunity to ride on it, on the issue of the visa. Hon. Senators, going forward, let us differentiate between a supplementary question and a main one. The supplementary question must be related to the primary question. That way, we will not have this problem of having to send CSs back to prepare and file with us responses with regard to supplementary questions. However, on that particular question, hon. CS, we expect you to file a detailed response on or before the 23rd May, 2023. With that, I will proceed to release the Hon. Cabinet Secretary. Thank you for coming. As you prepare to leave, whenever you are responding to these Questions be direct and extremely brief. You can come with all manner of literature but that is to help you handle supplementary questions. As far as answering is concerned, be very brief and direct to the Question as posed by the Senator. I thank you."
