    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to seek some clarifications from the Chair regarding the Communication that you have just made. I do not know whether we are setting a precedent. Maybe, we will be opening a Pandora’s Box. Whenever Cabinet Secretaries do not show up in the Committees, it becomes the order of the day for such Communications to be made here. So, I just wanted clarification as to whether it was in order for the letter to come to your Office directly. Should it not have gone to the Office of the Clerk for onward transmission to the relevant Departmental Committee? In line with Article 125 of the Constitution, a Parliamentary Committee can summon anybody, anywhere at any time. The jurisdiction of oversight of the Ministry of Lands is squarely under the Committee on Lands. The matter that the Committee on Lands was delving into was a matter of public interest, and was a matter of urgency given the seriousness of the matter."
