    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Chairpersons of Committees are very important persons in the new constitutional dispensation, because the Cabinet Secretaries cannot come to the Chamber like they used to do under the old Constitution. However, I am getting a little bit concerned because I have noticed an interesting trend. Every time a Chair gives a statement- almost all Chairpersons - they tell us that they will ask the Cabinet Secretary to come and give a more substantive answer. This calls to test the purpose of the new system. It shows that the Chairpersons cannot be expected to do the job that they are supposed to do under the new Constitution. Invariably we hear the Chairpersons saying that they will ask the Cabinet Secretary to come and give an answer, which then would save a lot of time instead of attempting to give unsatisfactory answers in the House. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
