    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I must express my deepest disappointment with the way the Jubilee administration and Cabinet Secretaries are treating matters emanating from this House of Parliament. You will agree with me that the issue of teachers and the strike was a matter of national importance. In the old dispensation, we used to call these Questions by Private Notice where answers were expected within 48 hours. It is now four weeks since I raised this matter and we are being told that the Cabinet Secretary has been away and that is why this House has not been provided with answers to these very pertinent questions that we wanted answered. This situation is getting out of hand. We, as a House, must find a way around this. This is in contravention of Articles 153 and 125 of the Constitution that require Cabinet Secretaries to give information to this House promptly or when they appear before Committees. This matter is kind of being overtaken by events. In view of this, may I get your guidance? We cannot wait forever."
