    "content": "Yes, hon. Speaker and thank you. I think it would be a wrong assumption because I would like to just add value or comment, I sit in that Committee and I think it has not been very vibrant. Although I agree with hon. Mahamud that we have summoned the CIC twice, I think the presentations were not specific in terms of meeting the deadlines. But also there has been some frustration by the office of the Clerk; most Committees have been meeting in the corridors, they would schedule meetings – We have had two meetings removed from the schedules because of lack of space. So, I think also the facilitation by the office of the Clerk has also contributed to some slow movement in the work of the Committees. Some of us are still working from the streets because, as you are aware, we do not have offices. Also that is affecting the morale of hon. Members. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I think CIC is intending to seek extension of their life because they have been busy doing everything else other than meeting their constitutional deadlines. Therefore, it is the work of the Committee where I sit to crack the whip and in one way or the other, it has not done that adequately to bring the necessary Bills. But I will convey the sentiments and the direction of this House to the Chairman. Thank you."
