    "content": " I hear what Sen. Obure has said. The difference is that in the older days, during the old constitution, Ministers sat and answered questions in the House. The trouble is that now we do not have Ministers sitting in the Houses, because we changed the Constitution. I hear you because even to me it does not look correct that Chairpersons and Vice Chairpersons of Committees, for example Sen. Haji and Sen. Dullo, should go around chasing for statements. There needs to be a system that works. When a Statement is sought and the Clerk’s Office sends that request to the relevant Ministry, an answer should come without prodding from the relevant Chairperson of Committees. We will look into this issue in the Speaker’s Office to find out how best it can be dealt with to smoothen the process. I do not agree that Chairpersons of Committees should be moving around following statements. Hon. Senators, we will now go back to the Order Paper, so that I can allow matters that we bypassed. But before I do that I wish to make a short Communication. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
