    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. From the outset, I would like to support this Motion. Being a Member of the Committee, I think it is very timely that this has been brought to the House. I request all the hon. Members to support this Motion. Today we were being asked why the Vice-Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security could not answer all the questions even after the hon. Speaker helped him out. He said that he could not deploy people in Meru because he would not know if that role is in his ambit. If we have the Cabinet Secretary here as per this Motion, we could probably ask him what measures he would take within 24 hours when there is urgency like what has happened in Meru. We have not just lost two doctors but also a lady who was killed and buried two weeks ago and nothing has been done up to now. Regarding the timing, I think we move the time from Wednesday morning, 9.00 a.m to 9.30 a.m upto 1.00p.m. It gives us time to reach Parliament. I think the other thing is that of Committee Chairmen. They come with answers which are not satisfactory at all. I pity them because they probably do not even read the answers before they give them out and sometimes they are not convinced themselves. If the Cabinet Secretary would be present in Parliament, we could ask him much more. The other day, we heard the Chairperson of Education, Research and Technology Committee saying that certificates of secondary school leavers will not be held by schools. Unfortunately, I had gone to my neighbouring constituency to get certificates for people, but the school administration said that they want to take me to court because I am threatening them.
