    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. It is very embarrassing for the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Cooperatives. It is not the first time we have had issues with the said Committee. We have also had issues with them concerning sugar and fertilizers. When this matter came up last time, I was also for the idea that we do not come up with a duplicate committee given the fact that we have a substantive Committee. From what Hon. Maanzo has said on the task force by the Cabinet, we have three arms of Government. There is no way we can allow the Executive to dictate what goes on in the Legislature. We have the Judiciary, the Executive and Legislature. The Legislature enacts laws, the Judiciary interprets the laws and the Executive implements the laws. It goes without saying that this Committee is being compromised by the Executive. From the look of things, we cannot waste any more time. Article 94 of the Constitution is very clear that this House discusses and deliberates on the issues that affect the people. Today, we are humbly requesting you to rule so that the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
