    "content": " As I sit down, Hon. Temporary Speaker, I also want us to ask ourselves a question as the National Assembly. I am doing this with deep respect for fellow Hon. Members. That, when the Senate is discussing Shakahola and what happened here on 25th June and when it goes about discussing the exchange rate of the country, where are our chairpersons of committees? Where our committees and what are they doing? Our committee members are very busy chasing principal secretaries for tenders and deals. Our chairpersons of committees must work for this House. Bring business. The Senate is getting a room because we take too long to summon. When an issue happens today, we wait for the Hon. Speaker, to give direction. It is not the Hon. Speaker’s responsibility to direct, but it is up to the committee members and chairpersons to take up those issues and bring them to the Floor. They are sleeping and we must wake them up. Every day the Senate looks good because they pick hot matters of the day while our chairpersons are waiting for the Hon. Speaker to help them on what to do. It is not the Hon. Speaker’s job. We all must wake up and do what the National Assembly was set up to do. I support the Motion and I hope that we will get a proper ruling. Thank you."
