    "content": "Hon. Wambugu, this idea of raising hands is not good. I can only encourage Members to be in touch with the committees to know when their Statements are going to be read out. But to give direction, hon. Gichigi, is going to just make work completely difficult, both for the Members and even for the committees. The best thing is for Members to try to find out from the Committees when their Statements are likely to be ready. It is not possible for me to say: “Member for Balambala, be present”, if he chooses to be asleep. Of course, Statements like this one, to me, are for information purposes. Indeed, hon. Pukose ends that Statement on a high note, that it is still upon this House as a whole, and specifically through the Budget Committee, to avail funds for some of the work that the Ministry is projecting to do. This is just information, not just for the hon. Member for Balambala. The hon. Member for Balambala may have drawn the attention of the House to this inadequacy of bed capacity in ICUs. But I think information contained in that Statement is for the whole country. It is unfortunate that hon. Gichigi could have moved that this report be debated at an appropriate time, because it is very detailed; I think it is a kind of a report that would benefit a great deal from contributions from hon. Members. But I think I cannot give a blanket direction, hon. Gichigi. If we go that route, we will be engaging in an unnecessary altercation."
