"content": "country. We are an oversight and legislative House for the purpose of driving this country forward. Therefore, I would like to call upon my colleagues on both sides of the House to, at least, aim towards achieving unity of purpose. Sometimes, we have some of our colleagues who are just out to derail us when debating very important issues. They tend to derail us by raising acrimony, name calling and shouting, which are not very good to the public out there. Hon. Temporary Speaker, there is the matter of Statements which we ask for in the House. I am happy we have changed the Standing Orders to bring into the House Cabinet Secretaries (CS). But sometimes the Statements we ask for here in the House tend to be just formalities. This is because you ask for a Statement and you wait for a month or two; whatever answer comes is shallow; nothing detailed is ever provided. Therefore, if a Statement is asked for, it should address, or correct, an anormally. I believe the person who is supposed to answer Statement request is the CS or the PS. These are the people who should come with an alternative, and not just to regurgitate what the hon. Member knows."
