"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have a problem with the answer to this Statement that I had requested because, one, the Chairperson of the Committee has just dealt with the question of one bodyguard, while the Statement I requested related to the entire security personnel attached to the Senator. He has given confirmation that the bodyguard has been made available following the withdrawal. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in view of the fact that this answer is not complete and, secondly, in view of the fact that the Cabinet Secretary (CS) was--- Because this Statement was requested on the 12th of November, 2013, and on the 21st of November, 2013, the Cabinet Secretary was saying he was not aware; that is nine days later and he was not aware! But now, indeed, in answer to the request for this Statement, the Chairperson has said that, actually, a bodyguard has been returned. So, there is discrepancy in this Statement as to whether the CS is in charge of the facts of this situation. It disturbs me that the CS would actually not be aware when a bodyguard is withdrawn. Even in this written Statement, the factual situation is that he is not aware; but the Chairperson has given further information that, in fact, the security detail has been returned. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with your permission, I would want to request that the Chairperson comes back with a more detailed answer in response to each and every Question that was asked in this Statement. I am saying this knowing very well that the Chairperson has really helped in this situation; that he went out of the way to make sure that, at least, the bodyguard was returned to Sen. Muthama. Indeed, next time I am in a problem, I will go to Sen. Haji, because I know he will deal with it. So, I do not know, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir; can some direction be given on this issue? If the Chairperson feels that this Statement is comprehensive enough, then I will proceed to ask further questions. But if he agrees with me that it is not comprehensive, then, with every humility, I would ask him to come with a more comprehensive Statement."
