"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the urgency as it has been well expressed by Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wetangula. However, it is also important for us to appreciate the practicalities of some of these things. As a Chairman of a Committee, I can tell you that it may be difficult to get a statement that is signed by a Cabinet Secretary. It is difficult to say that you will walk into a Cabinet Secretary’s Office to get a statement signed when you do not know whether they are in or not. This is a question of balance between the urgency of the matter which is very clear to all Senators and the importance of coming up with something comprehensive, believable and real. Let us not ask Sen. Karaba to come and make a statement here tomorrow for the benefit of being hanged by this House due to the inadequacy of what he may bring. Let us instead give him the time that he has requested so that he can, on Tuesday, bring a statement that contains the two things; the questions as asked by Sen. Khalwale and the answers from the Minister. I seek the indulgence of our Members."
