    "content": "Hon. Members, before the Mover finally replies, it is fair to observe with a few exceptions; that a number of the Members who sought a few moments from the Mover are Members of the Committee. If you look at the record yesterday, debate on this Motion went on until there was no Member who was willing to contribute. That was when the Mover was called to reply. I doubt whether the Members who have today asked to be allowed to contribute for a minute each are keen Members of the Committee. I have listened to some of you say that you wanted to congratulate the Members of the Committee yet you are also Member of that same Committee. It suggests that you may be a peripheral Member of the Committee. You may be very busy doing other work outside rather than attending to the Committee sessions. Therefore, those of you who are in that Committee, from now going forward, please, attend more sessions of the Committees. When Reports are tabled, be in the Chamber to debate them. You are the ones who are supposed to guide the rest of the membership of the House in debating and showing them the salient features of the Report. This Report covers very many parastatals. If many of you Members of the Committee were present, you would have helped this House a lot in terms of understanding more and more of the areas covered by the PIC. Hon. Ichung’wah!"
