    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am the father of the committee system in this Parliament together with the late Dr. Godana, hon. Juluis Sunkuli and others. I am sure you know this. The purpose of the committees is to prepare reports that assist Members in debating the Bills and circulate them in good time so that they assist the Members. But when a report is tabled when the Bill is virtually going through the end of the Second Reading, it does not quite help the plenary. I would want to request, not particularly about this report, but generally, that you issue a directive that reports must come to the Floor before we start the debates on Second Reading of Bills. That is the purpose for which we send Bills to Committees, so that there is some in-depth work that can inform and assist the House."
