    "content": "call chairpersons. That is not how Parliament should be run. That is why part of your Communication must expound on how the Executive and Parliament relate in as far as the Standing Orders and the Constitution are concerned. It is not our wish, as chairpersons and Parliamentarians to design a communication strategy with the Executive outside the Standing Orders. That must be very clear. This will go all the way to explain how we do our trips and how we invite people. That is why we have a problem with a CS being summoned by two committees. In fact, we should even go further and agree with the Senate that the members of the Executive invited by the National Assembly should not be invited by the Senate at the same time. When a CS is appearing before the Senate, the National Assembly committee should not seek to meet that same CS. Today, we have a situation where a CS is invited by a committee of the National Assembly and a committee of the Senate at the same time. How will that Minister divide himself or herself? There is a lot of in-house cleaning, but if we stick to the Standing Orders and the Constitution in our dealings with the Executive, a lot more will be done. I am sure you will do that in your Communication. You should do a serious Communication this afternoon. I want to urge the House that this debate should continue in the afternoon, so that we resolve these outstanding issues. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
