    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. Just to ventilate more on the point of order raised by the Chairman of the Committee, it is a good point to learn. As we receive Statements by way of Committee Reports, I want to ask that Committees be guided on how to report on Statement requests by hon. Members, particularly where a Departmental Committee gets more than one Statement request at the same time, to ensure that hon. Members enjoy their entitlement of having responses to their Statement requests directly. For example, if three or four Statements are combined in one Report, individual hon. Members will not have the chance to interrogate their specific issues, or there is the chance that the debate may be “swallowed”. In this particular Report, for example, the ICC matter may be more exciting than the Mak’Onyango case. The Member who sought the Statement on the Mak’Onyango case would be entitled to ventilate on it, and that kind of thing. So, I am asking if it would be in order for the Speaker to direct the Chair of the Committee in what manner and in what template they will report on three or more Statements that are asked from one department. Two, they can separate those Statements in different reports so that each report is discussed on its own merit and decided on its own merit."
