    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this matter. I sit as the Chairperson of the Liaison Committee and all Chairpersons discussed and realized that we have a backlog of Statements and Petitions. There are about 400 Statements that have not been responded to. The Petitions are more than 20. The Chairpersons are complaining that Cabinet Secretaries are not honouring meetings when they are requested to appear before the committees. If this trend continues, then the work of the Senate will be paralyzed. For the Senate Majority Leader, if this is the trend, then we should do away with this Question Time, so that we can divert to our usual business. This is because the Senate cannot sit without the Executive. This was the brainchild of the Chief Executive of this Republic when he was elected, none other than the President. If this issue is not working for the Senate and the National Assembly, then there is no need of having this Question Time by the Cabinet Secretaries."
