"content": "Well. I should congratulate hon. Simba Arati for assuming the position of Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. For avoidance of doubt, I communicated the Message from Senate on 3rd March 2015. That is why I have been insisting that Chairs and their deputies should always be present. This is because today is 22nd April and I communicated the Message here from the Chair on 3rd March. So, I cannot understand how that Message could then have been received by the Committee yesterday at 4.00 p.m. Something somewhere needs to be cross-checked, either at the Directorate of Committee Services or at the Clerkâs Office; obviously, that kind of communication will go directly to the Directorate of Committee Services for onward transmission to the Clerk in charge of that Committee. That is why we have come up with a system that when committees sit, they must have a system to follow up issues similar to the one that we have on the Order Paper. I hope that committees say prayers but they may not administer any oaths. It is important that committees have something detailed showing whether they have any petitions, messages from Senate or whatever else for their consideration. This is so that they plan their diaries accordingly. That is why we have come up with a structure for working."
