    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I just want to point out one thing pursuant to your directives and guidance and pursuant to what hon. Keynan raised; some Cabinet Secretaries are still living in the past. They are actually still practising the old Constitution and not the new one. So, they need to be given direction that this is purely a presidential system and that they must work very closely with committees, if they have to discharge their mandates. Hon. Speaker, secondly, most of us have had a chance of visiting the United States of America (USA) or countries that practise the presidential system. Maybe most of them have not ventured to know how a presidential system works. So, we want to advise our Cabinet Secretaries, the Executive or our Leader of Majority Party who is here that they should benchmark and know what happens in the USA, Nigeria and Rwanda because these are the few countries that practise the presidential system up to and including Philippines. Hon. Speaker, so, at this rate we are going to have problems with Cabinet Secretaries and even the Attorney General himself. We want to call upon your office to issue a circular to all Cabinet Secretaries that when they are summoned by Parliament, they must be here and they cannot come here at their own whims or discretion. They must come here because Article 125 says this. 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."
