    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me join my colleagues in contributing to this discussion. I remember yesterday we discussed this matter in the Senate Business Committee (SBC) and this letter did not come yesterday. What happens in the absence of these cabinet secretaries appearing in the House? There is a reason why we requested cabinet secretaries to appear on the Floor of this House. We also have other businesses to do. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you said it on the Floor of the House that this is the time for action. We want to see that action. We cannot come running here in the morning and then the people supposed to appear and account for whatever they are doing for this country are giving excuses. Therefore, if it there is a need to change the Standing Orders, we must do so and hold these cabinet secretaries accountable. To some extent, we can say that they can accompany the President to account for what they are doing within their ministries. However, the priority should be the Parliament and not that rally. As a House, can we stop lamenting? We should surcharge the cabinet secretaries if they do not indicate that he will not be available two or three days before the sitting. Thank you."
