    "content": "I would like to set out a number of issues that this House has made a decision on, particularly the Communication from the Chair. Hon. Speaker, Sir, on 16th October, 2013, you made a Communication from the Chair with regard to accountability with regard to issuing out invitation and summonses to members of the Executive and agencies to appear or attend Committee hearings. In it, you clearly stated and said that:- “You will recall that those who raise concerns even claim that some State officers are reported to have addressed the media on matters they were expected to answer before Committees of the House. In fact, they were casting aspersion or imputing improper motives on Members and Committees of this House and purporting to direct the House on how to run its business”. You further went on and stated that:- “This matter, touching on the execution of the oversight role by the National Assembly on one hand and the accountability and answerability and responsibility to this Assembly and its committees by the members of the national Executive, heads of departments and agencies---” You ended by stating the following:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
