    "content": "In the first place, Sen. M. Kajwang' corrected himself. He said that he is a chairman of a committee. However, it is not fair to generalise because as far as my committee is concerned, I have always been here and if I am not there, my Vice Chair is there. I mentioned about the delay in receiving statements. Whenever we encounter Cabinet Secretaries when they are available, which is not always the case, they always give excuses that a statement request reached them a day before it appeared on the Order Paper of the day. We need to check why statements are not taken to them in time. It is also not possible for a committee to interrogate every statement it receives because most of the time, we chase for the statements. You can get the response today and the following day it appears on the Order Paper. So, it becomes difficult to call your committee Members to go through it. I think that is another area which the Liaison Committee should look into. The other thing is that it is not fair to attack the Chairs only. Some Members ask for statements and when they are ready, you will find that the Members are not available even if the statements are listed on the Order Paper to be issued. I can give examples of some of them who have not been here two or even three times. That should also be dealt with. I thank you."
