    "content": " Sen. Adan, sometimes I appreciate the difficulty the Chairs of the various committees go through. Sen. (Dr.) Machage here chairs the Committee on Health. I appreciate that very much but on the other hand, statements are sought so that answers can be given and citizens know what is happening on each and every issue because there is no Senator who would seek a statement for the sake of it. Last week, Sen. Khaniri reminded us about the old Constitution where we had statements by private notice which were to be answered within 48 hours. So, I cannot accept that the Ministries are so busy that they are not able to issue statements when they are supposed to issue them, or that they do not take the Chairs of various committees seriously enough to give the statements when they are sought. It does not look correct when Senators continue standing on their feet and raising issues about statements which have been on the Order Paper for long. All of us know that they have been on the Order Paper because we sit in this House. So, something is quite clearly not right. That is the reason you hear me asking you to tell us the reason. To be honest with Sen. Adan who is the Vice Chair of the committee, it is not enough to tell us that you were at the OP this morning because yesterday and the day before you did not tell us you were there. If you went this morning, then it was too late because you knew the statement was to be delivered today."
