    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek direction from the Chair on a matter that is rapidly gaining currency in the court of public opinion in this country; namely, the fate of the devolved government and devolution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before I seek that direction, allow me to refer to Article 153(3) and (4)(b) of the Constitution which states as follows:- “A Cabinet Secretary shall attend before a committee of the National Assembly, or the Senate, when required by the committee, and answer any question concerning a matter for which the Cabinet Secretary is responsible. (4) Cabinet Secretaries shall – (b) provide Parliament with full and regular reports concerning matters under their control.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish, therefore, to request you to consider directing the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Devolution and Planning to appear in person before the Committee of the Whole of the Senate to make the following clarifications; namely:- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
