    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want you as the Chair to address this matter and give guidance to the House. When Questions are addressed to Ministries for them to respond, they are supposed to sufficiently provide a written answer even before the oral answer comes to the House after ten days. This is because the Question is deemed to mature in ten days’ time. There are so many Questions lined by hon. Members but they are unable to find themselves on the Order Paper in ample time. Sometimes we have to wait for close to three, four or five months before a Question is listed on the Order Paper. Sometimes, even the Questions are overtaken by events because of the delays in Ministries. They are unable to provide sufficient answers. I think this House should give guidance in terms of how Questions should be responded to by Ministries because we do not ask them for fun. We ask Questions because we want action to be taken by the Executive side of the Government on specific issues that we raise."
