    "content": "Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have realised that the distinguished Senator is requesting you to summon the CS. I just want to bring to the attention of the distinguished Senator the provisions of Article 125(1) and (2)(a) and (b). We have established a tradition that whenever there is a request for a statement, the committee writes to the relevant CS. If he or she does not respond, we normally do a reminder. We invite them if they do not respond. If they do not come, they are summoned by the Committee. However, we have not gone through all those procedures. If we have, then, the right thing to do would be for the Committee to use the powers provided for in the Constitution and issue summons to this particular CS. It should not appear as if it is a hopeless situation and that we are helpless. We have powers given to us by the Constitution. It is upon the committees and their chairpersons to ensure that they use the powers in such cases."
