This new dispensation has brought about a lot of challenges. In the House, Question Time used to be very important because we used to get answers instantly. We have now clocked six months - half year is gone - and many Members have burning questions which need to be answered immediately, be it at the constituency or national level. Committees take longer to answer questions across the board. I want directions from you because when you give the Committees leeway, they take a long time and those questions become un-answerable. So, time will lapse and nothing will be urgent. So, am I in order to ask for your directions as to the minimum and the maximum time a Committee should take? We are being taken for a ride."}
