    "content": "First of all, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard a lot of applause coming from this side when you made a statement. That was on the basis that you were giving directions without saying “I am going to consult.” This is because you are exercising powers which are evident from the Standing Orders. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, can you just allow me to read the Standing Order in relation to the Committee Chairpersons. I think the Statement you have just made is very important. Standing Order No.46(2)(b) says: “A Senator may request for a statement from a Committee chairperson relating to matters under the mandate of the Committee and the Speaker may appoint a day for the Statement to be made or direct that that statement be made or direct that the statement be issued on the same day.” So, there is nothing about a ministry, a CS or whoever it is in Government. So, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we can stick to your directions, then the House can work more efficiently. However, if we go in the direction where we look like an appendage of the Executive, then doing business in this House will be extremely difficult."
