    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I refer to the Statement just read by the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. Two weeks ago, we raised some fundamental issues here that needed to be responded to by the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport. We expected to have him yesterday, but he did not show up. The explanation we got was that he is in China. Next week, being the last week before we proceed for recess, I hoped that the House Business Committee would have scheduled the Cabinet Secretary to appear and respond to some pertinent issues that need to be discussed. Quite a number of these issues were raised before the Committee, and they were to be responded to by the Departmental Committee on Roads and Transport, but they were subsequently dropped so that the Cabinet Secretary would respond to them. In the absence of the Cabinet Secretary, the Statements and Questions raised to the State Department of Transport over two months ago will not be responded to as we go on to recess. I seek your indulgence, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for the Leader of the Majority Party to explain and perhaps give us an undertaking when we expect the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to address some very pertinent issues, especially before we start the decision- making process."
