    "content": "On a point of order, hon. Speaker. I appreciate the Communication from the Chair regarding this matter. I appreciate that the response that is going to come from the Chair, Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing, is on basis of the Statement that was sought. However, I am a bit disturbed. Of course, we value and respect all the Committees of this House equally. In the event that the Chair of the Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing gives a report which is going to be tabled here and then the report of the Public Investments Committee (PIC) is subsequently submitted, and there is a difference in opinion regarding the two reports, will this not put this House into some kind of confusion? I would request that this be considered and this response be deferred until the other Committee finalizes its work and then we, probably, have the two committees harmonize their reports as it happened in the Tenth Parliament when we had two committees investigating the issue of the Mavoko cemetery land. We had two committees with two contrasting reports and then the Speaker ruled that the two committees harmonize their reports. I am just concerned, because it may expose this House to a situation where the public thinks we are not doing our work properly, because we have one Committee bringing a report that is completely different from another one. I am not saying that, that is what is going to happen, but I am just worried that in the event that, that happens then this will put us in a very awkward situation."
