    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Senate Minority Leader. I will dispose of that issue immediately. First and foremost, the responsibility to produce statements to this House is not on the Speaker or the Clerk; it is on the Chairperson of the committee. As a matter of custom which we developed from last term, when the Chairperson experiences difficulties, they can revert to the aid, assistance and support of the Senate Majority Leader. However, I agree with the Senate Minority Leader that there is some administrative support that the offices of the Speaker and the Clerk should give the Chairpersons. Having listened to what has transpired in the last few minutes, I have not heard a single Chairperson saying that they have not been given support either by the Clerk, the Speaker or the Senate Majority Leader. So, let these matters lie where they are. But Chairpersons of Committees, get it directly from me. You cannot be enjoying the privileges of being called Chairpersons but when it comes to delivery, you are just lamenting, wailing and complaining. That is why you are Chairpersons; so, exercise your authority. If you encounter difficulties, the avenues are there, as I have already ruled; but 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."
