    "content": "There are at least two more areas we will need to look at. Only last week, we were with some of the Members of the Speaker’s Panel and we were looking at the oversight committees of Parliament and we came to the collective conclusion that our Standing Orders are lagging behind the Constitution. We need to amend our Standing Orders to give teeth to the committees and this House in terms of oversight. When that time comes, I hope we will also revisit the time allocated to the leadership of this House. In any one debate or Motion and I have counted, the first two hours are always taken in between the leadership and the rest of us, the 345 of us sometimes have barely an hour to contribute. I do not know whether that collectively adds us value."
