    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We are raising this because we want to appreciate what the Chairman is saying. The issue of the 10 agencies including the Commission for University Education, Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) coming together has been in the media. Why such regulations are put under a Committee is for the Committee to look at them, scrutinise them and highlight them for Members. I appreciate what the honourable Member is doing but, unfortunately, we have been listening and we have not heard him highlight those key issues. He has just been brushing through. What Hon. Midiwo was saying is that, if it is possible, he should just highlight. This is because you did the work as a Committee. You are more knowledgeable particularly in that area. That is why this work is put at the committee level so that you can come here and inform this House and it debates objectively. We want you to bring it out. It should not just be an issue of saying: “It is in conformity with the Constitution,” without highlighting on these critical issues, particularly these 10 agencies that came together. You know it can only be implemented if the Regulations are passed. Where are they hidden? I have gone through this document. Unfortunately, I have not seen the critical areas highlighted. So, just highlight to help the Members catch up."
