    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think as much as we require more induction, we also need some training on the use of language, because I do not foresee a situation where a Member will imagine that one Member is out of his mind, which means he is insane in medical terms. But over and above that, it is important that we realise that this is the Legislative arm of the Government. When need arises to ask the Cabinet Secretaries to appear before the Committees – that is why we elect Chairpersons – they will be fully composed so that they are able to deal with issues that are asked by Members. If a situation arises where we do not trust the issues that are put before the Committee and the answers that are brought before the House, then what we are in effect saying is that we have no confidence in the Members who sit in the committees, or the leadership of those committees. By extension then, that will apply to the hon. Member who claims that we must have the Cabinet Secretary before the House for satisfaction to be achieved."
