    "content": "Hon. Members, the House cannot act in vain. The Committee should sit and make a resolution. If the Cabinet Secretary has been informed and has failed to appear before the Committee, it should make a resolution to have the Cabinet Secretary summoned to appear in person failing then the House can deal with him. If the Cabinet Secretary is finding the Committee not sufficient for his appearance then the House will obviously have him dragged to this place. But it is not fair for a Cabinet Secretary to leave over 60 Questions unanswered. The Members asking the Questions are not just pedestrians. Members represent the interests of their constituents and other special interests. Therefore, we cannot entertain a situation in which 60 Questions remain unanswered by one Cabinet Secretary. He has other people to assist him. It does not matter however busy anybody is, the tradition has been however busy, even in the former dispensation, Ministers always had Questions answered either by themselves or by their assistants, in those days. Even in the current dispensation Cabinet Secretaries must take the work of the House seriously. If the Committee resolves to have the House help, the House will obviously step in."
