"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, due to the size of the Cabinet that we have, many Ministers are not even doing their work. The issue of collective responsibility is no longer there. Everybody is doing what he wants to do. It is about time that we fixed the number of the Ministries in this country. I do not feel that it is important for us to wait until we have the new Constitution in place to do so. It is urgent and we should go ahead and do it. It is also important that we enshrine it in the Constitution, so that any Head of State who comes thereafter, will be guided accordingly. The situation we have now in the country is such that whoever is the Head of State and Government can even have the whole House being Ministers simply because he wants to supervise. This is a situation that we cannot allow to continue. The kind of Ministers that we have is just like mere heads of departments. We want to empower them so that they can do the kind of work expected of them."
