    "content": "Hon. Members, the matters that have been raised in the three points of order are genuine and important, and need to be addressed. But it is my direction that we operationalize this provision in terms of the Communication that I made this afternoon. We will improve and refine the process as we begin to effect it; we will become wiser with the experience that we are going to gather. To begin with, it is expected and, indeed, this has been intimated to the Honourable Prime Minister, that when he comes to deliver his Statements and answer Questions on every Wednesday, he will be expected to address topical issues on matters that have arisen in the country such as has been cited by Dr. Khalwale. If, for instance, the Prime Minister was going to utilise his time this afternoon, we would have expected that the first thing he would have addressed would have been with respect to the violence that led to deaths in Mathira Constituency. Hon. Members would have been at liberty to seek clarifications from him without notice, because he would be expected to be conversant with the respective Government policies and Government actions taken. So, let us operationalize those provisions on that understanding. The Prime Minister is accordingly put on notice, that this is what is going to be happening. Thank you."
