    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The issues that are in the four requests for statement, including the one on security, are cross-cutting. The Office of the Leader of the Majority Party has failed to provide responses from the Cabinet Secretaries. He should have summoned them to appear before the House to respond to the issues. We should put the specific Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries to task on some of the issues that are coming up. We have an opportunity to call the Principal Secretaries to appear before this House. Since this Session started, the Leader of the Majority Party has not provided a schedule indicating which Cabinet Secretary would be coming to the National Assembly to respond to which matters. For instance, the issue of pensions has become a thorn in the flesh. The Cabinet Secretary has continuously failed to reply to letters directed to him by this House. Likewise, on the matter that Hon. Ruku has raised, I wrote a letter, but it was dropped because the question that he had was before mine. The Office of the Leader of the Majority Party, even as it does its many things across the country, needs to take the work of the National Assembly very seriously and provide a schedule of Questions to be replied to by the Cabinet Secretaries. It is your role, especially Hon. Owen Baya. You are reconstituting committees, forgetting that you have the bigger responsibility of ensuring that Cabinet Secretaries come to the House to respond to the issues that are raised by the people."
