(Dr) Ojiambo Oundo","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Before we went for recess and the fires that happened on the 25th, I had requested for a statement from the Departmental Committee on Defence that is chaired by Hon. Tongoyo. We had agreed that he would submit the statement once we resumed sittings yesterday. I have patiently sat here, but did not hear anything. I hope that, as you have directed him to bring the other one in the next one week, you will also do me a favour so that he responds to my statement request so that I can also remit it to the people of Funyula Constituency to appreciate that this is a Government in perpetuity? Even in the absence of a substantive Cabinet Secretary, the State Department has not ceased operations. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."}
