    "content": " I think the matter raised by Sen. Cherarkey is a matter that we engaged on last week. However, an observation was made by the Senate Majority Leader on how we can give more life to the reports by Chairperson of Standing Committees. Perhaps, the Chairperson making the reports today have not had the advantage or benefit of going through the HANSARD, so that they can pick what was given as an advice. Chairpersons of Standing Committees, do not be so rigid in terms of making your reports pursuant to Standing Order No.56(2). We know that Standing Order gives you the areas that you should report on. However, you should proceed beyond that and give us recommendations that align themselves to what is current. That will help us understand better how a committee is working. Secondly, the Chair advised here that some issues are so current that you do not need the Chamber or the House to move you. You can move on your own motion to address those matters and report to the House. So, those chairpersons who were not present last week, kindly look at the HANSARD and pick what was observed and given in form of an advice. Hon. Senators, we only have seven minutes to go. I will allow Sen. Crystal Asige to make her comments."
