"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we must agree that we are in a new dispensation and it will take us a long time to really cope with some of these new provisions. But there is no Government and Opposition in this House. There are only two things; a Majority Party and a Minority Party in Parliament, and that is the Senate. So, the Executive, which we now call the Government, is very far away from here. We evicted them from this House, and I was one of them. We were evicted from this House and sent to State House. Now, we have recently appointed Cabinet Secretaries and Principal Secretaries. So, do not pretend to be the Government in this House. It does not matter whether you eat lunch and dinner with the President or Deputy President. This House has appointed Committees to do the work that Committees do on behalf of this House. When you go out to do it, on behalf of that House, you come and report to this House. That is why when a question is asked, the Committee deals with it and reports to the House. But you cannot pretend to be a Cabinet Secretary, just because the Cabinet Secretaries were removed from the House and start asking: “How can you be a Cabinet Secretary when you are in the Minority?” It becomes an absurdity. So, Professor, look at this. You are not the Cabinet Secretary---"
