    "content": "a violation of constitutional provisions, particularly articles 34 and 35 and whether or not the Government would compensate the said television networks stated. Also, he asked us to state clearly what offences they had committed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is noteworthy that the Committee was seized of this matter, in exercise of our oversight role as a Committee, even before the statement was requested. Indeed, at its second sitting on 8th February, 2018, the Committee interrogated the matter and had resolved to pursue the issue with the Cabinet Secretary in order to adequately respond to the Statement. In order to adequately respond to the statement, our committee invited the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of Information Communication and Technology (ICT) to appear before us on 15th February and also on 19th February this year. The CS failed to appear on the two occasions, a matter that was well covered by the mainstream media. Further, the committee formally wrote to the CS in a letter dated 22nd February, 2018, seeking a written explanation on the issues that were raised. Again, the CS did not adequately respond to the issues and only responded by saying that the matter was best handled by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. This is an explanation that the committee felt was not satisfactory. The Committee further invited the CS a third time to appear before it on Tuesday, 6th March 2018."
