    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek your guidance on certain actions by Ministers who do not separate their official functions from party functions. Allow me to raise this issue because it affects my party; since the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government is here today, I hope he will also be able to help us. We keep receiving instructions from Permanent Secretaries on matters that are essentially party issues. Sometimes, we find it difficult to see where the line is drawn. This borders on misuse of public resources as we expect a PS to stick to his job and be completely apolitical. While we can use the party machinery to communicate to hon. Members, I have an instance over which I have continued to receive communication from the PS in the Office of the Prime Minister, Mr. Isahakia, asking us to do certain party matters. So, I do not know whether such communication is over a party issue or is a Government one. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think we need guidance from you on these issues. Maybe, we can ask the Government to strictly stick to Government matters. I am willing to lay on the Table the letter I got for your interpretation."
